Title: Don't Forbid Little Children Come to Me!
Whether in the past or now, when there is something to see in the neighborhood, the first people to run are children. Without knowing what the incident was, the children rushed to the scene and snooped around the scene. On the other hand, grown-ups look at this person and that person, and if they think that people have gathered to a certain extent, then they will wander around and appear. Adults are curious inside too, so they want to run right away, but what kind of face he is and because of his face, he hardly ever comes to the front. That's why adults always think before taking action before taking action, so there is a high degree of calculation behind the actions of adults. This is the reason why adults do not easily believe in the Lord because of the highly calculated thoughts of these adults.
This is exactly what Jesus said today.
Perhaps Jesus touched the children as they brought them in, and for some he even prayed. From the perspective of the disciples who looked at it, the children continued to pour in, and they regarded the teacher as an annoyance and shouted at the crowd. For the kingdom of God belongs to such people!”
It is said, “I tell you the truth, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” He stopped the disciples from shouting. Judging from the disciples' eyes, it is true that young children were crowding in and bothering Jesus. What's more, the other person is not an adult, and what is the use of tiny little things to the teacher, swarming like a swarm of bees and annoying the teacher? When I thought about it this far, it was natural for the disciples to shout at such people. However, the teacher's position was the opposite of that of the disciples. This is the difference between the thoughts of the heavenly ones and the thoughts of the earthly ones.
If you do not narrow down these differences in thinking even after living together with the Lord for decades, you will end up in a relationship between water and oil. Even though Judas Iscariot belonged to the class of the 12 disciples, he could not put down his own thoughts, so he ended up selling Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The other pupils could not put down their thoughts several times, so they often had conflicts with the teacher or responded to the teacher's words, but fortunately, they changed their minds and ate and yielded to the teacher's will, so that in the future, all of them can become great disciples. there was. However, the scribes, lawyers, and Pharisees could not put down their foolish thoughts until the very end, and in the end, they all boarded the train bound for Hell, even after seeing the owner of Heaven in person. How many weeping regrets in Hell by now, grinding their teeth for their folly We must never forget their lessons.
You can see that Gentiles today are walking the same path despite seeing the wrong beliefs of the Jews. As mentioned briefly above, adults never show themselves in front of people easily when something happens. The reason is that he thinks too much back and forth as much as the number of times he has lived. How will that person come out of this? How will this person come out? In a nutshell, you roll too much whole rice. However, in comparison, young children have simple thoughts, so when someone says something, they immediately believe it. Believers should not forget that a simple thought may be endangered in a harsh world, but it is rather a blessing in the sight of God.
It is the same with our belief in Christ. To believe in the One who came from heaven as an earthly person is truly a great event. From the perspective of the Jews at that time, the Son of God, whom they had called so by name, came to their land in the flesh, but from the point of view of the adults, they had too much to think about because they lived up to that time. It wasn't easy to accept. On the other hand, young children have a simple mindset, so if Jesus is the Son of God, they will believe it straight away. In this way, the little children, both of you, ran to Jesus, put their heads on each other and begged for prayer. However, since adults always have more than two minds, they fail because they do not believe it.
This is still the case today.
