Shaping the Child

Tuesday. Mark 10:13-16; Matt. 18: 1-6.

Children and women were commonly despised when Jesus came. He revealed their true worth and place. We need the children as really as they need us. Before the hurt of sin has come to them they teach us purity and simphcity, trust and honesty. They absorb their surroundings. Children will he just what their elders are, whom they touch daily. It’s only as our lives are yielded wholly to Jesus’ control that our children can come into their rightful heritage.
