When Jesus Says “Become Like Children”

Title: When Jesus Says “Become Like Children”
Artwork by: YMI X @vessillustration
Description: If there’s one topic that got people concerned as Jesus preached about the coming of the kingdom of heaven, the importance of becoming like children would make the list.

It must have been slightly bizarre because nobody ever pays that much attention to children… being children.

Isn’t the point of being children to grow up and become mature adults and then to realise certain potentials? What inherent value did Jesus see in being like children that He had reserved some of his highest proclamations for those who would be like them (Matthew 18:2-5, 19:14)?

Maybe there’s something here we might have missed, and we’re as curious as a kindergartner to dissect what Jesus is and isn’t saying about what it means for us to become like children!
