3/25/09 Mark 10:13-16

SCRIPTURE
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you.)
When Jesus say this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder the, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. (Mark 10:14-15 NIV)
OBSERVATION:
Jesus is “indignant” at those who prevent full access of children to divine grace. In the 1st century, children held no status, they were marginalized.
APPLICATION:
Even today we marginalize and segregate. The power and wealthy often use influence who is marginalized and who receives physical grace. But in the Kingdom it is the marginalized who receive full access to the Kingdom.
PRAYER:
Lord, forgive me for when I have, intentionally and unintentionally, blocked access to you. Use me as a vessel of our grace.
YES:
I will pursue ministry to, for and with the marginalized.
