Teaching GenX...
(Matthew 19:13/Mark 10:13 inspired.)
If we will not teach the children about JESUS; what the world will teach them instead?
As the song said; the children is our future, teach them well and let them lead the way, show them the beauty they possessed inside... If we will not teach them now about JESUS, about discipline, kindness, gentleness, humility, generosity, perseverance, value, etc... what kind of future they will have? what kind of future will this nation have? What kind of person they will be?
Looking at the faces of those innocent children in kids church, I can’t help but to think; here is our future President, Doctors, Pastors, Parents, Managers, future... There goes our future.
It is not enough that we send them to school. There, they'll read books and learn about mathematics, science, history, sports, etc... but how about Salvation? how about afterlife? how about faith, hope and love? how about purity and righteousness? Who will teach them to be strong and be very courageous when troubles come their way? who will tell them that JESUS came that we may have life, and have it to the full? It is not enough that we teach them how to count 1,2,3 and it is not enough for us to teach them how to spell their names. The virtue that we will plant in their hearts will be the virtue they'll believed in and be the person they will become.
Parents, disciples; "Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death." -Proverbs 19:18. "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him." -Proverbs 13:27
Teach the little children to come to Jesus. Teach them to pray. Teach them to read the bible. Teach them to love God with all their hearts, mind and soul. Teach them to love their neighbors as they love thierselves. Teach them the way how Jesus wants them to grow and live. Teach them to have faith like Abraham. Teach them to be strong and very courageous like Joshua. Teach them to love and trust God like David. Teach them and let them grow with wisdom like Solomon.
Past generation and today's generation may have lot of differences. But these truth remains; Children are born innocent. Jesus love them. And it is our privilege to teach them.
The Little Children and JESUS.
People were bringing little children to JESUS to have HIM touch 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. I tell you the truth; 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, put HIS hands on them and blessed them. - Mark 10:13-16
Give a little love to child, and you get a great deal back.
