“…unless you become like
children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” -
Matthew 18:3 ESV
Becoming
like a child is an abstract idea that typically ends up being translated in
whatever form the message recipient deems comfortable. The fact is a person’s
childhood can be so riddled with pain that returning to those memories is not
something they will ever do on their own. What often ends up happening is that
a person takes the offer of a clean slate to mean that their childhood can be
buried with the dead. They start over as though they were like children again.
