Concordia Sermons

An old cliché, finding its origin in the fifteenth century in the sermons of a clergyman named John Mirk, says, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Mirk originally applied this only to female children. Jesus, however, has a much different take on all children: He delights to welcome them, listen to them, and bless them! In this message, we’ll discuss the value of children, modern attitudes toward children, and offer comfort to those who desire children, but cannot have any.
