This familiar scene from Mark again underscores the disciples’ misunderstanding. At a time when Jesus was pressed by the crowds, parents also brought children, and the disciples “spoke sternly to them.” Jesus, in response, “was indignant” and brought the children to himself, proclaiming that the Kingdom of God belongs to children. What does it mean for us to be child-like? How would that play out in the context of our current divisiveness in this country?
