In Matthew 18, Jesus told His disciples to become like little children – to believe in Him as wholeheartedly as a child does. To help us know Him like children, we reached out to our various schools throughout Minnesota and asked them to pose a question to their students: “Who is God to you?”
We pray that as you read through these responses, you can get to know Jesus a little bit more—that you are reminded what it means to have faith like a little child and can grow even more in your relationship with Jesus.
