Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does Jesus say about marriage, and how does he treat the children people bring to him?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • What does it mean to you that, right after teaching on something as painful as divorce, Jesus opens his arms to the small and overlooked?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Who in your home — young or old — could you welcome this week the way Jesus welcomed the children?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who carries wounds from marriage or divorce that you could gently point to this welcoming Jesus?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
