Gospel Mark 10:13-1
“Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs”. We must approach Jesus like children. Isn’t it clear? Jesus himself by saying that underscores the importance of approaching faith with childlike qualities such as innocence, trust, humility, openness, and joy. Children embody a pure and unguarded trust in those they depend on, a readiness to learn, and an innate sense of wonder and joy. By encouraging us to approach Him like children, Jesus emphasizes that the kingdom of God is accessible to those who come with a sincere, humble, and trusting heart, free from skepticism and full of curiosity and openness to His teachings. This passage serves as a powerful reminder that true faith involves a pure, dependent, and joyful relationship with Jesus. Let’s reflect: How do I approach Jesus with my faith?
