The Prophet Isaiah and Jesus: God’s teaching
![](/sites/default/files/styles/md_wysiwyg/public/lent2018-wk2-500x375.jpg.webp?itok=qjqAUO0W)
Isaiah 54:13 • All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the prosperity of your children.
John 6:45 • It is written in the prophets, “And they will all be taught by God.”
Children have a special place in the heart of Jesus. Therefore, the education of children carries a special role in the life of the church. When his disciples sent the children away, Jesus ushered them in and blessed them by laying hands upon them. It is a blessing when children are taught what it means to be a part of a faith community that provides nurture, education and love.
Lord, enable the church to teach our children your will. Amen.
