THE CHILD-LIKE FAITH
Jesus teaches that a child-like mind is more receptive to Truth than an over-intellectual person, who must have too rational an explanation to those truths which cannot be intellectualized, but which must be accepted on their face value. For instance, who could explain why he lives? The self-evident fact of living is the only explanation possible or necessary. In the whole life and through the entire teaching of this marvelous man we find a child-like faith in the universe and an implicit trust in the goodness of God. Judging his work by its results and its influence on succeeding ages we are compelled to accept the fact that "Wisdom is justified of her children."
