On Palm Sunday our church, Amazing Grace Fellowship, celebrated kids, big time. It is always so much fun to spend time with kids because they have such enthusiasm, and are so full of life. One of the most remarkable things about children is that they find wonder in simple things and they love learning new things. What a joy it is to be able to impact them and help them see their future and the hope they have in Christ. (Jer 29:11)
On Palm Sunday we had 100’s of kids who were surrounded by an abundance of volunteers who set aside their time and talents to build in the lives of children. Jesus had great things to say about children, and how we as adults would be wise to be more like them. In fact, in Matthew 18:3, it says that we must change and be like children if we want to enter the kingdom of heaven.
What kind of changing must we do? I think one major change is to become trusting like a child. Often we get less trusting as we get older. Have you noticed how kids believe what you say? We should be like that about spiritual things. If the Word of God says it, let’s just be childlike enough to believe it. If we’re believers, let’s believe!!! Tomorrow we will talk about another change we can make to become more childlike!
