Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Matthew 19:13-22
They try to keep children away from Jesus … children should be kept quiet; out of the way … They have too much unpredictable, bubbly, uncontrollable energy. But that’s exactly what Jesus welcomes. He relishes the freshness of children, because they are free, not attached to too many things that they can’t let go of. Jesus tells the young man that he needs one thing if he is to be whole – he must stop clinging to his possessions. But that is too much for him. He can’t let himself be free. So he cannot experience a truly full life.
