🌾 Luke 18

Luke 18 is a real chapter from the New Testament. It starts, “He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.”” Luke 18 opens with these words: “He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,” The line to keep is Luke 18:16: “Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.” Carry the word “jesus” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Luke 18:16: “Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Luke 18? Then try this: Read “Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
