The Brew Is A Musing

At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.” (Luke 10:21, NIV 1984).

My Musings – “Truly wonderful the mind of a child is” – Yoda, Attack of the Clones. The older we get, the less likely we seem to be to accept things by simple faith. Things so easy for “little children” to accept, yet so hard for the “wise and learned.” But “I [Jesus] tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3, NIV 1984).

“The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.’ Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.” (1 Corinthians 1:18–21, NIV 1984).

My Advice – It is foolish to allow our wisdom and learning to hide the key to the Kingdom of Heaven from us. We must “become like little children” in order to receive “[God’s] good pleasure.” Then we will know how truly wonderful becoming like little children is.
