How We Treat Jesus' Friends

Remember What Jesus Said

Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

— Matthew 18:5-6

Question 1: Who Are 'Little Ones'?

Jesus talks about 'little ones who believe in me.' Who do you think he means? (Hint: It's not just kids!)

Question 2: What Does Jesus Promise?

When we are kind to someone who follows Jesus, who else are we being kind to?

Question 3: Why Does This Matter?

God cares a lot about how we treat his children. What is one way you can be kind to another Christian this week?
