Jesus Loves the little children. Whoever welcomes a child welcomes Jesus and not just Jesus, but the One who sent him. That's too easy. What's the catch? Lots of people love children. That's not counter-cultural, world changing, Kin-dom in-breaking news. There must be a catch. And there is. Children were seen as not-yet-persons and the property of their Father. Not full status people but dependent. Who in the world today may society look at as less than full status people who are in need of love and support? Today we look at loving those who are different from ourselves, recognize that our church is situated in a diverse neighbourhood and ask, how we may love them and be of service?
