Scripture: Luke 18:14-43, Passive infants are brought to Jesus so He can touch them. There is nothing in a child that merits God's forgiveness. They are not innocent but very self-centered and demanding. By Jesus offering grace to the infant, it shows the the width and depth of God's grace. Babies can only receive. They are totally dependent. We must become like a child to enter the kingdom of God. The rich ruler asks Jesus what to do to inherit eternal life. This interesting dialog is examined concluded by Jesus saying none can get into the Kingdom of God by human effort, but with God all things are possible. Jesus promises blessing in the the age to come if we practice evangelical poverty. Jesus then predicts His suffering and death -- the way eternal life is given to us by God. A blind man "sees" what the disciples do not see is introduced.
