In the story of Jesus blessing the children, Jesus uses children as a teaching moment for the disciples and for us. In this seemingly easy-to-understand story, Jesus flips the cultural norms upside down. He explains why children should be the standard-bearers when it comes to understanding who belongs in the Kingdom of God and how we should receive it. In this slightly different approach to a children’s sermon, we are challenged to not only love the children of the world but to become like them.
