Matthew 19

Verse 14: Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

We were talking about this exact verse in bible study on Tuesday night. I think many people take this verse to mean that we should just accept what we are told and believe it as truth, because kids can be gullible and manipulated.

I don't think that's it at all. The thing about kids is that they are always asking questions. They are always asking why. They want to figure things out... the world is new and exciting to them, they have a sense of wonder because they don't have it all figured out.

We should never stop asking questions. We should never stop struggling with our faith, because we will never figure it out.

And that's a good thing, because it leaves room for wonder in our lives.
