SHAPING THE CHILD

Mark 10:13-16; Matthew 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 simplicity, trust and honesty. They ab­sorb their surroundings. Children will be 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.
