Matthew 18:1-14
We are charmed when we see or hear about how elephants and other animals shelter and protect the youngest members of their herd. Jesus said a similar concern for the young and the spiritually vulnerable is a characteristic of God’s family.
* Occasionally we welcome young children into our church family through baptism. What responsibility do you feel for the ways the church influences the lives of those children? In what ways can you bless and support the children of our church?
* Was Jesus only concerned with people’s age in these verses, or was he also addressing their level of spiritual maturity and strength? What are some steps you could take, or some personal qualities you could focus on, to ensure that you don’t cause new believers and seekers to stumble?
