Mark 10:15

No matter how old we are, there’s something about Christmas that brings out the child in all of us. For in the simple awe of a child, we rediscover the true magic. A faith that believes in miracles, embraces wonder, and finds the extraordinary in the humblest of mangers. Jesus implores us to embrace childlike faith. Because only with such innocence can we enter the kingdom of God. At Christmas, the season mirrors the essence of this call, inviting us to approach the mystery of Christ’s birth with the wonder and simplicity of a child. In the glow of twinkling lights and the warmth of festive traditions, childlike faith becomes the key to unlocking the true magic of the season. It beckons us to believe in the extraordinary, to anticipate miracles, and to receive the gift of Christ’s love with unreserved joy. As we celebrate the birth of the Savior, may our hearts echo the purity of a child’s trust, finding in the manger the embodiment of divine love and the promise of eternal wonder.

Mark 9:37

It is said that you can judge the character of a person by the way they treat those who can do nothing for them. Jesus uses children to hit the point home. Children are some of the most vulnerable in our society. Those who have to humbly trust others to care for them and meet their needs. And Jesus says the way we treat and value them reveals the status of our hearts. As innocents, children have no power, leading them to depend on those greater than themselves. So true believers seek to help, teach, empower, and receive them into God’s kingdom. Not for our own power or glory, but all for God’s, as we act in faithful obedience. Because Jesus calls us all to be like little children. To have a faith that is true, humble, and completely dependent on God. And most of all, our Savior came to be last and a servant to all, so when we honor and receive a child, we honor and receive Christ Himself.

Matthew 19:14

I can remember going to Sunday school and learning all of the wonderful things Jesus did for me. And at the end of each class we would sing, “Jesus loves the little children.” Although I didn’t quite understand what this meant, I happily belted out the words. Because it was pure joy to know I was precious in His sight. And that kind of innocent, childlike delight and faith, the kind that believes God can do anything, is just what our Father wants us to have. Children, in their humility, aren’t concerned with the things of the world. They aren’t worried about fame and fortune. All they know is the tender care and trust they put in the one they love. The arms of Jesus are always open to His children. He wants us to approach His throne of grace with joy, innocence, and humility. To have open, moldable hearts of a child. Hearts that believe, Jesus loves the little children of the world!
