Creation Time - Day 4 - Future of Our Chlidren

Day 4 - Future of Our Chlidren
He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children.  It shared his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.” (2Samuel 12,4)

How do we teach our children to learn about the created world? How do they relate to animals and flowers? How can the bringing-up affect the future? In the parable the poor man doesn’t have children instead of domestic animals, but he brings up his lamb with his children. It is a symbolical situation, where the lamb gives evidence about the deepest and most intimate relationship with creation. The animals are always reflect to this relationship, which is between God and people, people and people, whether it is caduceus, or loving, or alienated relationship. We can read about meaningful animals in the Bible Stories (donkey, lamb, ox, pigeon), and God created them according to their breed before people, to follow help and feed the people. (1Moz 1,25) The lamb is in a common lot with the poor man’s family. win a share in poverty, dining, destitution and in their delight, as well as in the New Testament the Lamb Of God who lives in commensalism with children, the people who live on the edge of society who has been rejected and despised. The question is that the church, as the body of Christ embedded in society, as an endurer in a cruel and unjust structure, throw in with the vulnerable and poor people? Can we make a sacrifice in this community?
