“A great man is he who has not lost the heart of a child.” That is the way the philosopher Mencius put it.

Jesus said, “Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

So what then has a child that is so special except an abundance of youth?

He cannot make money, he cannot build buildings. He cannot be an adult with all the superior ways and means of adult living.

A child can only laugh and play.

A child can only have a simple unsophisticated faith about God.

A child can only get mad easily and forgive quickly.

So what then, has a child that is so special? I think I have begun to answer the question.

******************************************************************
“And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
(Matthew 18:2-6 )
