Digest

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

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • Jesus is indignant when children are turned away, and takes them in his arms. What does that tell you about how Jesus sees you?

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

    • He says the kingdom belongs to people like children. What are children good at that grown-ups forget?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • How will you come to Jesus this week — simply, without pretending?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who is being pushed to the side where you are? What will you do?

Grow

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

Pray

Jesus, when grown-ups tried to send the children away, you were angry and called them over. Thank you that you want me here. Help me come to you like a child.
