Living as Kingdom Children

Sara Jukes

In Luke 18, Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, … for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” On Dedication Sunday, Sara Jukes looked at the hindrances to childlike faith and the qualities of kingdom children. We need to be Jesus centred rather than self-centred, rooted in God rather than shallow, together and dependent instead of egocentric, broad in faith rather than narrow minded and far-reaching instead of selfish. In order to go through the narrow gate, we need to decrease and go low like little children.
