Contrasting Attitudes

Been in to two schools this morning to do assemblies . One primary and one secondary . It's interesting to note the contrasting attitudes of those who are listening .

There were the yr 11 students ( 15/16 yr olds ). Some of them had that look on their faces ,the one that says "This is the last place I would like to be , listening to you rabbitin on about God stuff!"

And then by contrast, the primary school kids, all with eager faces wanting to learn more about Jesus ...they still have an innocent childlike faith ..

The sad thing is that between primary and secondary school that childlike faith ebbs away ...Jesus knew that, thats why he wrote these words .. Matthew 18 :2-4

2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Have you lost your childlike faith ??? then you better go and find it again says Jesus .
