“Verily I [the Lord Jesus] say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein” (Mark 10:15).
On the occasion that the Lord Jesus said this, His disciples had rebuked those who brought young children to Him, thinking that He did not have time for them. But the Lord Jesus was displeased with His disciples for doing this, and told them to let the children come to Him.
Then He explained that we all need to become as little children in order to enter the kingdom of God. Why did the Lord Jesus say that? It is because young children naturally are very trusting, and do not raise questions about what they are told. They do not suspect that someone is trying to trick them. Unless someone betrays their trust, young children believe what they are told.
When we come to the Lord Jesus, we must come with that same trust. We must believe that He loves us, and wants to bless us. He will never disappoint our trust in Him!
