The world may not always appreciate the great value of children. But that's not the case with our GOD. The Lord JESUS even became angry with His disciples when they tried to stop parents from bringing their children to Him for prayer and a blessing (Mark 10:14, "indignant" is the word used in many of our modern Bible translations). The word "children" is found over 1,300 times in the Bible (NKJV), our GOD referred to as our Father, and believers as His children throughout the Bible.
Look at a few amazing Scriptures about children, all from Matthew 18.
Verse 6, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me
to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and
he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
Verse 10, "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones,
for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father
who is in heaven."
Verse 14, "Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that
one of these little ones should perish."
The 6 children in the front of the class receiving daily tutoring are from a pitifully poor village near one of our Brother's churches (some of their families attending). The 3 nearest the bottom of the photo are from a family with 2 mothers and one Dad (8 children). Our highest priority is not their education, but with His help, leading them to Christ. As He might bring them to your mind, please pray for these precious little children.
