Matthew 21:16-17. Children Outperform Wise Men 12 Sep 2023

Mat 21:16 'Do you hear what they are saying?'
Jesus answered,
'Yes. Have you never read this:
By the mouths of children, babes in arms,
you have made sure of praise?'
17 With that he left them
and went out of the city to Bethany,
where he spent the night.

The children brought more joy to Jesus then the scribes and priests.
There is a lesson for me: my 'wisdom' applied to others is often not welcome. I can learn from children how to connect to others in meaningful ways.

Prayer

Jesus, I thank you for the friendship of children.
