16. What it REALLY means to become like a child; PLUS the answer to "What does it take to obtain eternal life?"
LDS Come Follow Me
April 17-23
Matthew 18; Luke 10
“What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?”
This lesson includes two of my favorite parables--the unmerciful servant and the good samaritan. But I think the questions that draw these teachings out from Jesus Christ help us understand even better what Jesus is teaching. But before we discuss those things, we'll talk about what (in my opinion) it really means to become like a little child. I, probably like many of you, was taught that this at least included unquestioning obedience to church authority--children just do what their parents say, no questions asked.
One of these parables even includes the answer to what we need to do to obtain eternal life. A pretty important question!
