Gospel Reflections #273: Just like a Child's Honest Rejoicing!

Matthew 21:16 "Jesus said. I hear you." Have you not read the words, "In the mouths of babes and sucklings you have made them sing praises?"

Children express what they see and feel about Jesus.

What about us adults?

We think about expressing ourselves after considering our position, conflicts with others, and various other things.

I believe that we often give priority to expressions that are appropriate and acceptable for the place we are in, rather than what we see and feel about Jesus.

We look at ourselves and our surroundings and think about what we should say, but a little child looks at Jesus and honestly expresses the joy he has received from Jesus.

We are surely blinded by living in this world. That is why Jesus told the Laodicean church to buy eye drops.

We should look up to Jesus and rejoice more in what we receive from Him.

That is our living testimony and the light of our faith.

Even if our light is a small light, to those around us, it is a bright light of hope.

Let us not be shy, but be more bold, rejoice and share the God we have experienced!
