I had a thought this past night that involved children or chains of generations being broken with regard to the way parents would believe in God and then teach their children.
To expand on that a little, imagine the example of a young mother, say age 21; and in the coming years it's up to her to be teaching her children about God. How did she come to believe, strongly or weakly or not at all? Her parents with their learning and experience had read the Bible and through living saw that the Word was good and told their children supporting stories, and this helped the daughter to believe and become a Christian. Now imagine things that could happen to break or weaken that chain.
If our thoughts are related,
The children were many ages and some weren’t near strong enough to hold into the ones behind them.
that would be like children with weak faith not being able to inspire their own children to believe and the chain of faith being broken
Jesus was sending his strength through each child to be able to hold on to the ones behind them.
the children need their faith strengthened in order for it to pass down the chain from one generation to the next.
