Matthew 18:1-6 - "Like A Child"

The kingdom of God is here already, but not yet fully. Christ has given more instruction on how His kingdom is to be made increasingly visible in the lives of His people. In His kingdom, the way to dominion is through suffering, the way up is down, and the way to greatness is through humility. We must become like children to live in this kingdom – trusting, dependant, filled with awe and wonder, teachable, and humble. These traits are the fruits of repentance that demonstrate that we have bent the knee to the King and are fit to live in His kingdom. Our charge this week is to examine ourselves for these traits – is the conduct of our lives consistent with our citizenship?
