V1-24 Treat His Little Ones Well
When Jesus refers to "these little ones," is He referring to little children or His followers? How might someone make a little one stumble or go astray? What does a cup of cold water represent? These are just some of the questions to consider in this week's edition of the Walking Talking Bible Project.
