Jesus went into the Temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the stools of those who sold pigeons, and said to them, "It is written in the Scriptures that God said, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it a hideout for thieves!"

The blind and the crippled came to him in the Temple, and he healed them. The chief priest and the teachers of the Law became angry when they saw the wonderful things he was doing and the children shouting in the Temple, "Praise to David’s Son!" So they asked Jesus, "Do you hear what they are saying?"

"Indeed I do," answered Jesus. ‘You have trained children and babies to offer perfect praise.’"

Jesus left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.

Matthew 21:12-17

To all parents, teachers, neighbors, and other adults. We need to remind ourselves that we do not know it all. Be humble enough to listen and learn something God wants to teach us through the faith of a child.

Big lessons can be learned from little children.
