Prompt: "2 And Jesus called a little child unto him,
and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
(Matthew 18:2-4, KJV)

How does an adult come to Jesus as a little child?

Little children are subject to the elder authorities over them. Within families they learn to fetch and help as they are told. When taught properly this gives them wisdom as they grow older to have wisdom to do right in their own lives. And, later to take control as a leader.

They Bible has a lot of references about being humble - subjecting yourselves to one another in kindness, using wisdom to deal with each others problems, having understanding of the way life stresses each person in its own way. Being a selfless leader of others.

Since we recently worked on Proverbs I found Proverbs 22:4 AND 11:12 to be references. Plus a look at Luke 14:11.

Just thought I would clue you in to my most recent absence. My computer had a totally odd glitch. I had electricity lines across the screen and got stuck on the pause mode. I couldn't find the problem so I unplugged everything and walked away. Today it booted properly and works fine. It was only my computer as the TV and kindles worked OK. So, not the WiFi or electricity because appliances and K's computer continued to work normally.

Last spring we had trouble with a new Television that acted the same way when you turned it on. Unplugged it for a few days and it worked again without any problems to date. Today the problem is all gone everything is back to normal. I'm thinking an electricity oddity of some sort. Still snowing here. Until we meet again bye for now.
