Humble Yourself as a Little Child

   Children are of the kingdom of heaven. What does that mean?
   "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:14
    Does it mean we should become like little children, if we are to enter God's kingdom? Surely, it does. The disciples came unto Jesus, and asked him who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. In response, Jesus called for a child, and sat him before them, and said, "Verily, I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
   And, then, this: "Whosoever therefore," Jesus continued, "shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
   Little children defer to adults. They obey. Theirs is to learn, not to teach.
   They are humble.
   If Jesus said this thing, that we must humble ourselves as little children if we are to be great in the kingdom of heaven, then it is so. We should ask ourselves if we are so humble. And, we should endeavor to become so.
