When Jesus stooped to embrace the children, it was quite shocking to his disciples. That Jesus would give his precious time to this subgroup was quite remarkable. And then he said the unthinkable... “you must become as these.” By this statement, Jesus was saying that we should not only stop and acknowledge the children, but moreover, look up to them! Esteem them as God image-bearers that have a lot to teach us adults. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Amy Mammadov and Brian Sutter teach us what these little ones can teach us.

Show notes:

Children have a lot to teach us.

Where adults can become ridged, children remain flexible - teaching us to “let go.”

Where adults can become high maintenance, children remain bless-able - teaching us how to receive blessings.

Where adults can be pretentious, children remain genuine - teaching us how to live honestly in the world.

Where adults emphasize usefulness, children emphasize enjoyment - teaching us how to live joyfully.

Where adults have an eye toward “doing”, children have an eye toward “being” - teaching us how we should view ourselves.
