Be Good to Children: Command #23

People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. - ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬-‭16

 

My friend Lisa Catania has mentored young people of all ages for may years, so I thought it would be good to pick her brain about Jesus’ command to be good to children.

 

If you work with young people, please don’t see yourself as a volunteer. A volunteer is a chaperone, someone who is easily replaced in case you back out at the last minute. Instead, see yourself as Jesus’ ambassador.
