Matthew 18:10-14

What’s the most important thing to you?

When people talk about you, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Know that you are important to God.

Matthew 18:10–“Little ones” refer to children.

We Christians think children are a wonderful blessing, but not everyone thinks that way. At some points in history, they were not valued or deemed important.

Even the disciples shooed the kids away, but Jesus welcomed them to Him.

This passage may support the idea of guardian angels.

Jesus said to have the faith of a child (Matthew 18:3-4). This would have been shocking to them.

Why do we believe that God created the world, etc.? Because He said so. That’s all we need.

These “little children” are important to God. He watches over them. They are precious to God. He tries to reach them.

Matthew 10:12-14–God doesn’t want anyone to perish.

God goes after the one.
