| | What They Mean By Child-Like FaithWritten by Eric Engel
Prv:18:2 A Fool Receiveth Not The Words Of Prudence: Unless Thou Say Those Things Which Are In His HeartSo what does that say about us? We all like to be told we’re right. We all like to hear how smart we are. We all want confirmation. Most of us hate it when someone points out when we’re wrong. If you pick up Bible, and don’t come away thinking yourself a fool, you’re not paying attention. Because every book of Bible is full of passages that show us how foolish we are. The book of proverbs particularly points out our intellectual limitations. Does God really have a fetish for identifying our flaws? Like a father who can never admit his son turned out all right? Yes and no. It all hangs on that quote from Christ: “Mk:10:15 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it.” A lot of people misinterpret that to mean learning and understanding our faith is fruitless. They confuse word “childlike” for “simplistic”, but two have very different meanings. Anyone who has children realizes that they aren’t simple at all. But what about them are we suppose to imitate? The Father / Son Relationship Remember that Christ compares God’s relationship with us to relationship between a father and son. In this case, son would be a child. And a child has to rely on wisdom and knowledge of his father for everything he has (remember that when Jesus is speaking, father was common provider in household).
