One Who will possess the kingdom of heaven
(Lk. 18:15~17)

Children are the flowers of family and hope. They are the future of a nation and the precious resource of churches. Jesus says that heaven belongs to children. People who are pure and humble like children will go heaven. Those who praise the Lord and are proud of Jesus only will go to heaven.

1. Jesus who prepared the heaven for us
Jesus has prepared the heaven for us. Before being crucified on the cross, Jesus says, “I am going there to prepare a place for you (John14:2)”. Therefore, death will be another start for us. Heaven is very beautiful and glorious. There are not sadness, sickness as well as death. There will be eternal happiness. According to Revelation chapter 21 verse 4, it says,” He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Also, psalmist says,” You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” Therefore, we should not be frustrated before death. Rather we should keep the hope toward the heaven of God. We should do our best effort until we get to heaven where glorious light of God shines like the sun. According to Corinthian chapter 15 verse 58, it says, “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

2. One who has possesses the pure faith
People who are pure and innocent will go heaven. Jesus says,” I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it (Luke 18:17)". Children believe in the presence of God without doubt and accept Jesus as their personal savior. Therefore, we should turn away our past habit of blaming and complaining very easily to recover the first time when we met Jesus. We need to recover the first love and thanksgiving as well as praise and passion to give glory to God.

3. One who possesses the modest faith
People who are humble like children can enter heaven. One of the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? (Mark 18:1)" Jesus says, “Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Being humble and modest is personality of Jesus. Jesus threw away the highest place to save people and lowered himself to become a human. The modest and humble mind of Jesus was able to save all of us. Therefore, we should serve and help others by lowering ourselves just like Jesus.
