little children - 2


a term of endearment
to our modern ears
little children
children of God
a term of value
the currency of that time
God loves us as children
the least, the last,
the lowest class, nothings
in that time and place
God shows his love
in calling us little children
changing the world
in the words God chose
in valuing the least, the last
the lowest class, nothings
all of us as little children
deserving of love

little children -2

on the status of children in the Roman Empire
in the time the 1st Epistle of John was written
and the use of the term “little children”
by the writer, to describe followers of Christ.
