COME AS A CHILD

Luke 18: 16,17
Permit the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the Kingdom of GOD. Verily I say unto you, "whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of GOD like a little child shall in no way enter it."

Yesterday, we talked about the darkness in this world and that the Light of Christ has come into the world to dispel that darkness. Today, we will explore the way to live in the Light.

The world of darkness is inhabited by those who do not want to live in the light. They are comfortable with the struggles to see in darkness. They are like the little creatures who live in the darkest parts of caves and never see the light; they are pale, and blind, groping around their dark dwelling, hoping to find what they need for life.

In human terms, living in darkness is trying to find the way, the truth and the life without JESUS, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Many folk think that their intellect, education and experience will make the way possible for them to succeed. They grope around their dwellings, trying to find what they need for life, but they are blind, without a guide.

The people who embrace the light of Christ, are those who seek, ask and knock for JESUS. They are the ones who acknowledge that He is the LORD; they determine to follow Him without question. They place their hand in the Hand of JESUS and let Him lead. Those who seek the Light of Christ submit to the Gospel as a child submits to the teaching of a parent. When one is submitted to JESUS, they are filled with light and JESUS, the Good Shepherd, leads them to springs of Living Water and good pasture.

COME AS A CHILD TO THE LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM OF LIGHT
