A Firm Foundation – Day 26: Let the Children Come
Date: Thursday, October 30, 2025
Mark 10:13–16 (NIV)
Reflection
People brought children to Jesus, and though the disciples tried to turn them away, Jesus welcomed them, embraced them, and blessed them. He even taught that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Children model the humility and trust that Jesus calls us all to have. When we welcome children, we welcome Christ Himself. Their presence is not a distraction but a gift.
