In this community we have others we can teach - and that is the little children. Their minds are open for gospel truths. Jesus even said, Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. He was speaking of the humility, the teachability, and the open hearts that little children have when he made that statement. So children can be taught the truth and as they develop over the years they will obey the gospel and live the Christian life.
Little children are an open door with the gospel into the lives of adults.
How many families have been won to Christ because we carried the little children to Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and other events of the church. Here in a graphic way Isaiah was speaking of people with these characteristics being changed into beautiful Christians and a little child will lead them to the Lord. This is a prophecy of the gospel age and shows the great work that children have in it - leading others by the characteristics of their precious little lives. The Great Commission commands us to teach the little children. Jesus said, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
