Mark 9:36
We can easily miss the significance of this lesson. What exactly is Jesus teaching here? Although the consideration of children in society seems common today, this has not always been the case. Indeed, this value is deteriorating even now. As followers of Christ, the nurture of the next generation is to be very important to us. The proper treatment and protection of the young is to be a top concern. This is not the natural way among fallen human society. Sinful humanity tends to throw the children under the bus.

Heavenly Father, you care for the children. That is so wonderful. This just isn’t something considered much in man’s philosophy and religion. But you have done all things well. You care for us from the cradle to the grave. Thank You! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
