Out of the blue, my 7-year old daughter asked me, “What is the most important thing in the world?”
I replied, “What is the most important thing in the world?”
She answered, “God!”
And I said, “Yes, even though we can’t see Him, He is the most important thing in the world.”
And she added, “But we can talk to Him by praying.”
And I asked, “Who taught you this?”
And she replied, “I learned it on my own.”
As I reflected on this simple conversation, I find it amazing that the Holy Spirit can reveal such precious truths about the kingdom of God to a young child.
In the Bible Jesus asked his disciples a similar question. He asked, “Who do you say I am?”
And their reply was, “You are the Christ, the son of God.”
And Jesus replied, “You are correct.”
And Jesus continued to say, “Man, has not taught you this, but the Spirit go God has revealed this to you!”
Matthew 16:13-17
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
