13Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 14But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 15And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. God wants us to come on to him as loving children. Not with a rebellious spirit or a prideful heart but in a spirit of meekness and humility. To many Christians seem to be on a mission to prove they can outsmart God by claiming to have unraveled mysteries hidden by God in the Bible about salvation and prophesy. I have heard more and more junk on the net by people claiming that God has reveled secrets to them hidden in the Bible everything from the end times to the true path of salvation. It is all silly and rebellious, like I say they are trying to outsmart God. There is no new path to salvation and God says only he knows when Jesus will return. There are no hidden messages about Paul being a false prophet or any other fantasy promoted by modern day wantabe theologians. Then you have Christians demanding things of God. This whole idea of you can demand healing of God or blesses and he will do it. The Bible I read says ask of God. Can you imagine a kid walking up to their parents and demand their parents give them what they want. (Well in today’s society with parents who knows.) But Jesus says we should come as little children. Young children trust and love their parents without asking why. They follow their parents without asking why. They obey their parents without expecting something in return. It is only when that child gets older that he picks up bad traits of rebellion and questioning of authority. God expects us to follow him in a spirit of meekness and humility without the constant questioning of his authority. I hear a lot of why would God do this or allow this to happen. We don’t know the mind of God we are only to follow his will as faithful and trusting children.
