I appreciate your further insight to into Paul’s verses that being humble like a child is important and having the understanding of an adult is important also.

It’s also important that we read 1 Corinthians 13:11-12 together with 14:20:

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

We need to become children in our meekness, humility and innocence, but we need to become men in our understanding.

-Tim

I think it shows the great adaptability of the scriptures. I read Paul as contrasting childhood and maturity against the partial and complete, with the dark glass being equated to our partial knowledge and prophecy and childhood.

I think that’s the real lesson here: Be Ye Not Afraid Of Thine Own…um, Self.

Great post Aaron… You already got my input in the first paragraph, but I truly believe the heart like a child thing is important. Kids trust everyone until given a good reason not to, they love unconditionally, and are willing to share with complete strangers. I think we could learn a lot from children.
