Biblical interpretation of the Child God

Filipinos are closely attached to the picture of a child. It is explicitly expressed in their devotion to the Niño-child. Almost every Filipino Catholic houses has an image of a Santo Niño. There are many people who questioned and misinterpret the Catholics that they worship a child. The concept of a child is biblically founded and not from any superstitious belief. Filipinos expressed their love for the child-God by devoting themselves a prayer to the child. Child is also a symbol of many things. It is also a reminder for adults to go back and reflect the deepest recesses of a child's attitude and characteristics. 

The Prodigal Son Luke 15:11-32

       This is a parable of a son, who left his father and took all the share of his inheritance from his father. He used his money to women, gambling and all sorts of vices. Eventually, all his money was lost and he then lived a very poor life. He even ate the food of the pigs in order to survive. After experiencing a sad fate he then returned to his father and asked for forgiveness. Without hesitation and with so much love for his lost son he accepted him. A feast was celebrated in his honor.

Parable of the Talents Matthew 24:14-230

This is a parable told by Jesus about a wealthy man leaving his talents to three
men. The first one receives five talents. Another receives two talents. A third steward
receives one talent. As the wealthy man left, the three men followed the instruction
carefully. The person given with 5 talent gained 5 more. The other person, who was
given with two talents, gained two more talents. But the third person only dug a hole
and buried the only talent he has. As the master returned, he was happy with all the
servants but unsatisfied with the third servant who only buried his talent on the ground.
