One Word: Child

Child

The wolf shall live with the lamb,
   the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
the calf and the lion and the fatling together,
   and a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 11.6

  • Children were symbols of vulnerability and powerlessness in the times of the Bible, because that was the reality of their lives. What words or phrases do you associate with the word “child”?
  • If you could describe your childhood in three words, what would they be?
  • “A little child shall lead them”. Jesus didn’t come as a mighty warrior, but as a little child. What difference should that make to Christian faith?
  • What lead might the children in our lives and our world be trying to give us today? How can we listen to them better?
