Unless You Become Like Little Children

Matthew 18:3
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
ἐὰν μὴ στραφῆτε καὶ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία
📜 THE VERSE

Unless you turn and become like little children, you will not reach the truest place.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Before learning, do I first build a wall of "I already know this"?

📝Reflection

A child feels no shame in not knowing. That is why a child can ask anything, be surprised by anything, learn anything anew. As adults, we grow afraid to admit ignorance for the sake of appearances. This verse's call to become like a child is not a call to become childish, but to recover that unguarded curiosity and humility. A mind convinced it already knows everything lets nothing new in.

🌱Apply It Today

Ask "why?" again today, like a child, about one thing you assumed you already understood.
