Matthew 19:14 (NIV)
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to
me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as
these.”
Jesus' love for children in an age when they weren't highly
regarded is a powerful reminder. It is a reminder of God's love for what the
world often abuses or abandons. We are called to love the unloved, the
forgotten, the abused and neglected. Why? Because that is what Israel was in
Egypt and that is what Jesus was at Calvary and that is what we were without
grace (Romans 5:6-11). How can we claim to know salvation and not share it with
others who need that grace!? How can we claim to be Jesus' disciples and not
show love for those the world forgets?
Thought for today:
Do I remember the “forgotten”?
