Receiving the Kingdom as a Child, Part 2: The essence of receiving the Kingdom is found in a Child's trust. A child trusts his parents to care for him, without fretting whether they are able to do so, or whether they are equipped to do so. They simply trust. When Peter points out that the disciples have trusted Jesus, Jesus makes certain that Peter understands their privileged role, and how the Father will bless them. At the same time, he shares a parable that explains that it is the nature of the Kingdom that we trust him, rather than attempt to hold him to a real or implied contract. When we attempt to hold God to a contract, it demonstrates something in us that does not trust as a child would.
