humble humble humble

Tuesday September 9th, Matthew 18: 1 at that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Children tell it like it is, sometimes painfully so. Any pastor who has an open mic for the children’s sermon knows that. Children also know that they are children. Last Sunday one child talked about his ability to fly and lift heavy items, but in reality, he, I and the congregation knew it was a little boy’s fantasy. The trouble with adults is that we say things, perhaps not as grandiose, and then we, and others believe them. Little boys want to fly, the Adam and Eve in each one of us has within them, the desire to be like gods, knowing good and evil and all things. It’s called original sin.
