As a Little Child

Adapted from “As a Little Child,” Liahona, May 2025, 7–9.

In general conference last year, President Holland told a story from the Savior’s life. One day His Apostles were arguing about who was the greatest. Then Jesus called a little child to come to Him. He said, “Whosoever … shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:4). President Holland said that babies and children are reminders of the kingdom of God.
