The following riddle seems easier the younger you are. Kindergartners
know the answer, while those with college educations are stumped.
What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you'll die?
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them,
but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant.
He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder
them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the
truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little
child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, put
his hands on them and blessed them. (Mark 10:13-16)
Still stumped? The answer is simply the obvious answer to the first
question, as well as to the others. It's nothing, really.
Your kid brother,
Mike
