Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-9; Psalm 147B; Matthew 5:17-19

Pass it on

‘But take care as you value your lives! Do not forget the things which you yourselves have seen…. teach them rather to your children and to your children’s children’ (Deuteronomy 4:9). God’s words to the Israelites are equally addressed to Christian parents and grandparents today. It is our duty and our privilege to pass on the gift of faith that we in turn have received from our parents and grandparents. We pass it on by teaching, by our witness and by our love. We can only do our best – that’s all that God asks. The rest is over to them and to the Holy Spirit as we entrust them to God’s guidance and care.
