Humble Yourself Like A Little Child
Matthew 18:2-4
Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:2-4)
A little child is completely dependent on their parents. When a child is hungry or thirsty, they come to their parents for provisions. They have simple faith that their parents will take care of them.
They know that they can't live their lives on their own. In order to follow Jesus, we have to accept that we cannot live this life without being completely dependent on God.
Humble yourself before God like a little child and tell Him that you are 100% dependent on Him for everything. Surrender to Him. ~ Jeff M Newman

Lesson 6 - 1 John 1:1...this is the Word of life.
Welcome back to the Hope Bible School verse-by-verse Bible study of 1 John. Last lesson we focused on touching Jesus by faith. You can touch Jesus by faith by believing in Him, by knowing that He is with you always, by drawing near to Him, by praising Him, by thanking Him, by worshiping Him, by taking communion, and by abiding in Him.
For The Sake Of My name
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. (Matthew 19:29) Jesus promises you will receive a hundredfold when you choose to follow Him and prioritize Him over material possessions and family relationships.
