True Love - John 13:31-35

4/24/2016

    In the passage that Mary and I just read, Jesus calls his disciples, “Little children.”  And as we hear his admonition, since we too are his disciples, the designation is for us.  In his teachings and actions, Jesus held a special place in his heart for children.  Despite being rebuked by church leaders when women brought their young ones to be blessed, he proclaimed, “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 
    Children have an innocence and vibrant perspective that is often profound.  We find delight in quips that come, “out of the mouth of babes.”  Their insights and innocence can enlighten jaded hearts.  My daughter’s pre-school teacher has a wonderful penchant for art and has the class regularly scribbling, sketching sculpting, and painting.  Last week, as I admired some of the classroom art on display, I saw a quote tacked to the wall attributed to the great Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.  It reads: “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
