Reaching the Children




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: Many people rightly feel awkward when they want to start to reach their world, giving them the Good News of Jesus Christ.  This is understandable.  It happened to me.  You may not think so, but it's true!  When I was a teenager I wanted to reach my world down in South America.  It was very hard but the first step that I took, the elders of my church were wise enough to say "start working with the children."  So, they gave me a class of about 8 or 10 boys in Sunday school.  I took it gladly.  I was about 18 and a half.  I'd just been baptized.  And, it was a fabulous experience.The first boy that I led to Jesus died only a few weeks later.  He was run over by a street car.  I thought, "Wow, if I hadn't led him to Christ what would have happened to this boy?"  I think his name was Marcos.  You know, Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto me because such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Don't stand in their way.  Woe to the man who causes a little child to stumble.  Little children are so open.  They believe the Word of God.  When they hear the truth the Holy Spirit resonates in their hearts.  When a child is converted, their whole life will be directed better than if you're converted at age 47 or 50 or 56.So, reach the little children because Jesus loves the little children.
