from Matthew 18:1-4

For 4 weeks we have looked at life with Christ through the lens of stages in life. We started with the end and asked the question, “what will it look like for you to end well?” Following that, we looked at the “Legacy Years,” asking the question, “if people followed the path of your life, where would it lead them?”
We know the goal. We have the finish line…the question is, “how will you get there?” This world says we must work hard, we must strive for the goal at all cost, we must be willing to fight our way forward if we want to reach our goal. Jesus suggests the opposite. According to Christ, the only way to reach the end is not to go forward, but to go back…to childhood…
