'Chosen by the King'

  For millennia, the least of these has been treated as such. Even though the book of Mark clearly shares God's heart for the children. Have you ever been in a church where the little ones are brushed aside? Haven't you ever asked yourself why millions of dollars are spent on church buildings for the comfort of the adults and very little is spent to care for and train up the children?

This is why Jesus is so amazing. He didn't pick perfect men, and He doesn't get angry with them for asking, although I'm sure the other disciples must have been pretty stunned hearing this. In fact, verse 41 tell...
