The Hidden Truth

When Jesus refers to a child in this teaching, His point extends beyond the child’s marginal social status in the ancient world to encompass the very nature of a child’s innocence. A child receives what is seen or heard without subjecting it to philosophical reasoning or the weight of accumulated experience. Their perception is immediate and unmediated—seeing becomes believing, without filtration through competing sources or frameworks.

Matthew 11:25-26 -- 25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.  

Matthew 13:44-45 -- 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls

Bible Study

The Apostle Paul authored 13 of the 27 books in the New Testament. His writings chronicle his three missionary journeys, which took him through Judea, Asia, and Southern Europe, reflecting his adventurous and faith-driven life. 

 Understanding Paul’s missional journeys offers a comprehensive grasp of the New Testament as a whole, with the book of Acts serving as a condensed account of these events. Studying Acts, therefore, provides a unifying perspective on the New Testament, offering invaluable insight into its collective message and purpose.
