Mark 10:1-16
VERSE OF THE DAY: "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."—Mark 10:!5
In this chapter, Jesus starts talking about marriage and divorce and adultery and then immediately moves into "letting the little children come to me." Interesting that these two ideas are mentioned back-to-back!
REFLECTION: Enter with Innocence
• It takes childlike faith to enter the kingdom.
• It takes innocence to live with God’s order.
• Our own innocence is short-lived.
• It is inadequate.
• We have to receive Jesus himself.
• We do it IN FAITH. BELIEVE.
Q's: Where do you struggle to stay innocent? How do you maintain your childlike faith?
