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 />
