Synopsis: Jesus points us to the humility of a child if we are to enter the Kingdom of God. Several
passages warn us of the dangers of striving to be humble. The humble child doesn’t seek honor, nor do
they compare themselves with others, nor are they hypocrites, and they don’t force or falsify humility.
“Let all that you do be done with love.”
