No Longer a Slumdog<br />

says, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” ( John 14:9).<br />

Therefore, we can be sure the fullness of God’s heart for children<br />

was perfectly reflected in the life and words of His Son. So what<br />

can we learn from Him<br />

Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus repeatedly speaking<br />

about how important children are to Him and to the Father. In<br />

Mark 10, we encounter Jesus surrounded by people, teaching<br />

them the truths of God. Some of the parents in the crowd started<br />

bringing their children to Him so He could bless them. The<br />

disciples rebuked these people and started practicing crowd control.<br />

They may have said something like, “The Master is teaching<br />

an important message. Please sit down and keep your children<br />

quiet.”<br />

Jesus would sit and give children His undivided attention, and He commands us to do the<br />

same in His name.<br />
