THIRST FOR TRUTH / Draw Near Bible App

THIRST FOR TRUTH

Terror struck with fiery fangs that April morning in 1906 when the San Andreas Fault settled, shaking San Francisco to the ground. While thousands fled the burning city, one man rode into town, notebook in hand, to learn how people felt and reacted in crisis. William James, famed psychologist, had a thirst for truth which made him explore, experiment, change, and grow. He made himself forget preconceived ideas to become as impressionable as a child so he could learn truth.

Jesus says if a man is to come into the Kingdom, he must learn to come clean; that is, with the slate of his mind wiped clean of his ambitions, his ideals, and his own ideas of religion. A child presents himself to learn, and this is what Christ means when He says we are to come as children.

So often we come to Christ with our fists closed and we cannot receive. If we could learn to wipe our minds clean of all our own ideas and let Him lead us into truth, we would really come into His Kingdom. He desires to write His will on our hearts, but we must come as children if He is to do it.

“Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:3-4‬ ‭NLT‬‬
