Evening: Psalms 81, 82; Matthew 18:1-9
This week, we witness the plight of migrant children separated from their parents in America. Jesus teaches: “Whoever becomes humble like (a) child is (great). Whoever welcomes (a) child in my name welcomes me.” A world that exploits the weakness and vulnerability of children – and justifies barbarity by Biblical proofs – is far from the kingdom of heaven. Shockingly, all over the world, children are trafficked, enslaved, used as human shields and child soldiers. The implication of Jesus’ words is clear: the mistreatment of children violates a sacred trust and threatens our humanity until we put a stop to it.
