Mark 10:15 “ I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it."
Can you imagine asking a child if he wants more bread or just
candy, and he answers, “Just bread, please”? We minister to Quechua children in
the valleys of Bolivia and in remote mountain villages. Every Christmas we
travel to villages high in the Andes Mountains, above the tree line; we take
gifts, food and the Good News to children living without even the basic needs,
and without Jesus.
Little Paco met us coming into
his village. He was wearing little sandals made of truck tires and no sweater
for the cold weather. We put clothes on his back and food in his stomach. His
eyes lit up when he saw the gifts and candy but what he wanted most was the
bread; a real treat where there’s no firewood to bake bread. When he heard the
story of Jesus he accepted the gift of salvation joyfully and without
hesitation.
Paco is just a little guy but
with a big story that points the way to heaven; trust the Father, believe in
Jesus and enter the kingdom with childlike faith. Paco may only have bread when
we visit but he will always have the Bread of Life.
