Kingdom Children

“The principle of the child is one ability and only one: simple receiving of all things.”

In Matthew 18, Jesus gave two requirements for entering the Kingdom: turn away from sin, and become like little children. We are quite familiar with the first, but the second is rarely taught. Do we know what a ‘little child’ is and how to become one? Our very entrance to the Kingdom depends on it.

By exploring the parable of the Prodigal Son and examining the lives of David and Jesus Christ, Martha Kilpatrick unveils the picture painted throughout the Bible of what it means to “become like little children.”
