The Father and the Little Ones
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.


I. THE TRUTH ASSERTED. God's will is for their welfare.

1. Because He is their Creator.

2. Because He is Love.

3. These words apply to the whole realm of childhood. They are not limited to children of the good and wealthy.

II. A SAD TRUTH IMPLIED. That notwithstanding God's will children may ripen for evil and be lost.

(C. Vivace.)
