A sunbeam is a ray of sunlight that emanates from the sun. Malachi 4:2 states “But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings…”

Jesus is the Sun of Righteousness, the source of life and power in the earth.  Our children can be His sunbeams. Yes, they can shine the light of Jesus Christ through their own lives, in this unprecedented darkness.

How will this happen?

Parents, Christian leaders, schools – especially Christian schools should realise that each child has an immortal soul and needs to experience salvation, that is, a relationship with God.  This really is not as difficult as we think.  Most of us have successfully aided our children to have lasting relationships with cartoon characters and television personalities.  We can, therefore, utilise some of those very strategies to instruct our children to trust Christ as Saviour. Children can savingly believe the gospel.

Let us not be like the disciples who rebuked those who brought their children to Christ.  They thought the children were not old enough to be brought to Christ.  “When Jesus saw what was happening, He was angry with His disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Do not stop them!  For the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these Children.” Mark 10:14 NLT

God wants your child for His sunbeam. Will you let him/her?
