Children have a special place in
the kingdom of God. Jesus told
his disciples in Matthew 18:2-4:
“He called a little child to him,
and placed the child among
them. And he said: “Truly I tell
you, unless you change and
become like little children, you
will never enter the kingdom of
heaven.
Therefore, whoever
takes the lowly position of this
child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
Jesus recognized the faith of a
child in that they are unblemished in belief. What is taught
to the little one will be taken in
wholeheartedly without question.
More so when it comes from the
very people God has placed to
be stewards over the little ones.
Parents that teach their kids the
word of God not only do what is
right but also bring up individuals that will be able to influence
the lives of others later on. This
should be the goal of parents
everywhere as it is what they are
called to do by God.
