Record crowds turned out at movie theaters to see Home Alone and Home Alone 2. The first movie told about how a young boy's family accidentally left him behind when they went on vacation. The sequel told of how the boy got separated from his family at the airport on their way to another vacation destination and ended up alone in New York City. Both movies have happy endings as the child is reunited with his family.
The newspapers report similar instances of children being left home alone, but often without the happy endings that the movies present. Children have been abandoned at home for days without food. They have been left alone in dirty and insect-filled apartments.
Jeremiah's message is that we have a responsibility to look out for those entrusted to our care. Whether we are pastors or parents, a solemn obligation has been set upon us.
