A Parent's Guide
Let the little children come unto me
and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I
assure you that whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will
never enter." Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each
of them and blessed them.
Matthew 10, 14-16
There is so
much we can learn from our children. They have wisdom, humor, curiosity,
sensitivity and the heart for loving. And Jesus has the heart for them! What a
wonderful teacher he was, spending hours sharing his Father's words, listening,
laughing and praying with the children. Now, two thousand years later we are
charged with training children to follow Jesus. Let us join hands and become
partners in bringing children to Christ. Bring your children to Sunday School
at Redeemer and rejoice in the promise.
