The Simple Things

Matthew 18:2-5 (The Message)

For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me.


Selah

John,

This is really touching...I thank you for reminding us what Jesus wants us to do everyday. Remembering the simple things are honest and true.

Love you,
PJ

that's right...He uses the weak to lead the strong...Reminds me of a Misty Edwards song; "It's the inside, outside, upsidedown kingdom where you loose to gain and you die to live". He came as a lamb, but don't forget that he's coming back as The Lion of the Tribe of Judah!!!
