Matthew 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 1. The existence of things which put in peril the souls of them that may be the children of God. 2. It is contrary to God's will that these dangers should be fatal to the salvation of His people. 3. The means which God has provided for the accomplishment of His gracious will in the salvation of the little ones. 4. The encouragement which the text affords to those who are desirous of imparting that knowledge which maketh wise unto salvation. (Bishop Sumner.)
