How We Treat Them, We Treat Him
Today’s Sunday school lesson (Mark 9:36–37; 10:13–16) reminds us that children are important to Jesus—not just in presence, but in purpose.
He shows us that how we receive children is how we receive Him. The love, care, and guidance we give them matters.
But He also teaches us something deeper. We must receive the Kingdom as a little child.
That means humility. That means trust. That means coming to God without pride or pretense.
Children trust those who love them, and that’s how we should trust God.
What we model matters. Our children are watching, learning, and becoming based on what they see in us. And as we grow in Christ, we are called to return to a place of childlike faith—pure, open, and willing to follow.
“Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.”
Humility may not feel good to our flesh, but our spirit rejoices in it.
Lord, help us to lead our children well and to come before You with humble, trusting hearts. Shape our lives so that what we model reflects You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
