I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and
repent.
Did Mary ever have to discipline Jesus? Of course she did. Just like all loving parents
are forced to discipline their children from time to time. Jesus was a good kid but he still
was a kid.
There are times when we may be disciplined too, but we are good people. We are
God's children.
(Revelation 3.19
NRSV)
There is a story about little Bobby who was picking up the toys which he had scattered
about the room. The visiting pastor commended him for it. The pastor pleasantly
inquired, "Did your mother promise you something for picking them up?" Bobby replied,
"No, sir, but she promised me something if I didn't."
Lord Jesus, may I be reminded often that I am a child of God, and may I help all of
God's children know of your saving grace. Amen.
