And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them. (Mark 10:16)
I once again take an excerpt from Moltmann’s book the content about the relationship between child’s wonder and their cognition.
“When we say that the first perception always and to everybody excite wonder, we get over childlike wonder. All new ‘discovery’ in natural science excites the first wonder. After that such cognition repeat through experimentation and it is accepted as an extension of cognitions that we already have. However, we recall ‘the first’ when we indicate new discoveries in the name of a discoverer. We, that is, are able to distinguish first of cognition and first of a certain phenomena. Because of such incidents excite wonder for the new, we say about ‘exposure’ subjectively and it reveals a concealed one which means to perceive unknown thing that we haven’t acknowledged yet. Such discovery, for some person, happens passively and therefore we say our ‘eyes open’ or ‘the scales fall from our eyes’”. (Science and wisdom, p. 230)
Children fall into wonder as they face the world without preconceived idea. Such similar things may be happened in God’s salvation rule. However, once our faith is matured, we cannot stay in the mere status of a child. Our wonderful experience with the kingdom should be deepened more and more.
Keeping the child’s point of view, it is not easy to simultaneously enter into the deeper spiritual world. If things go wrong we lost purity or lost the process of deeper quest. May the Lord’s blessing be with your way of pure maturity and matured purity. Amen!
