God's Incredibles

Pastor Mick

Our Day Camp began today with 66 pre-school children in attendance. There was a lot of excitement in the air as Pastor Mick, Abby C, Bubba Gum, and Hick Boy explored the creation of man, God’s Incredibles!

There is something special about the innocence and sincerity of children. When Jesus’ disciples asked him who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, he called a little child to stand among them. And he told his followers that unless they changed and became like little children, they would never enter the kingdom of heaven. He went on to say that whoever humbles himself like a child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus words could not be stronger. He told his followers that their attitudes were entirely wrong and needed to be changed or converted.

The disciples were interested in position, rank and title; Jesus was interested in character. The disciples were interested power; Jesus was interested in influence. The disciples were interested in pre-eminence; Jesus was interested in humility. The disciples were interested in external demonstrations of greatness; Jesus was interested in the greatness of internal transformation.

There is something refreshing about hanging out with children. They experience life in a genuine and an unpretentious way. Children are God’s special gift to teach us about greatness. Children are incredible!

How about you, what way of thinking has God pointed out in your life that needs changing?

And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3
