In Matthew 11:25, Jesus offers a prayer of thanksgiving to God, acknowledging that the mysteries of the kingdom are revealed to those who have a childlike heart.
At that time Jesus 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.”
This verse reminds us of the importance of humility and simplicity in our approach to God and His teachings. It challenges us to let go of our intellectual pride and embrace a posture of openness and receptivity, like that of a child.
Jesus emphasizes that the knowledge of God and His ways is not solely accessible to the wise and learned, but it is revealed to those who come to Him with a humble and teachable spirit.
This is a comforting reminder for us because it means that we don’t need to have all the answers or possess great knowledge to experience the fullness of God’s love and grace. Instead, we are invited to approach Him with a childlike faith, trusting in His wisdom and guidance.
Learn to cultivate a childlike heart that is open to God’s leading and receptive to His teachings. Release the burden of trying to have all the answers and instead embrace a posture of humility and dependence on God.
Come to Him with the simplicity and trust of a child, knowing that in His presence, You can find rest for your soul and discover the deep truths of His kingdom.
