On Sunday we got to hear from one of our leaders, Laura Sharp on the passage in Luke 18v15-17 where Jesus teaches his disciples about childlikeness.

This story highlights the human desire to be great, and how Jesus’ definition of greatness differs from the world’s.

God designed us to be dependent on Him, but God is not dependent on us. He will never use our need to manipulate us. We have an all sufficient Father who wants to love and take care of us.

The mark of maturity in Christ is not sophistication, but humility - when we finally put aside the illusion that we are in control and begin to care about what God our Father cares about.

Our lives are meant to be like Jesus’ - wrapped up in dependence, longing and communion.
