Little Ones

(Click graphic for larger view.)
 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying,
“Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
 
Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in
the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to
you, unless you are converted and become as little
children, you will by no means enter the kingdom
of heaven.  Therefore whoever humbles himself as
this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.  Whoever receives one little child like this
in My name receives Me.
 
“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.

Matthew 18:1-6

Lord, help me to be Christ-like, and never,
in any way, cause someone else to sin.
Please forgive me when I fail You.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

  1. It is so very important for us to teach our little ones to know and love the Lord.

    1. Yes, it is. We have had some crimes in the USA, recently, that shows how little attention some parents pay their children. The breakdown of the family is so bad for a nation. As I have heard, "As the family goes, so goes the nation." Thanks for your comment.
