I explain in this video the importance of understanding our committment to God and bearing our own cross as well as understanding what it means to become like little children. I explain these things by way of passages found in Gen 3: in addition to scripture found in the Gospel according to Thomas. 

The following is the passage from Thomas that I read.
Log.22
Jesus saw children who were being suckled. He said to his disciples: These Children who are being suckled are like those who enter the Kingdom.
They said to Him: Shall we then, being children, enter the Kingdom? Jesus said to them: When you make the two one, and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner and the above as the below, and when you make the male and the female into a single one, so that the male will not be male and the female not be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and an image in the place of an image then shall you enter the Kingdom.

The following is a second passage found in the Gospel according to Thomas.
His disciples said: When wilt Thou be revealed to us and when will we see Thee? Jesus said: When you take off your clothing without being ashamed, and take your cloths and put them under your feet as the little children and tread on them, then shall you behold the Son of the Living One and you shall not fear.
