Do You Have Childlike Faith?

Scripture

Mark 10

Jesus Blesses the Children

13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.

14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” 16 Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.

Observation

It takes the faith of a child to believe God’s plan for salvation. Childlike faith …do you have it? To get into the kingdom of God you need childlike faith. Do you understand what Jesus is talking about?

A lady accepted Christ today at Mission Tampa. She had childlike faith. As I shared with her I could tell that she understood the Gospel and she prayed asking Christ to save her. Trusting is not easy. The older we get the more difficult it is for us to have childlike faith. We are so skeptical.

Application

I will share the Gospel with people and I will listen for a childlike faith response.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for Willard that he would understand the Gospel and that he would place his faith in you. Give him the childlike faith he needs to be saved. I pray that the people that hear the Gospel at Mission Tampa this week would make decisions for you and that they would get plugged into a church so they can grow.
