December 12 - Christ and the Children

Christ and the Children

The multitudes brought their young children for Jesus to bless, but the disciples told them to go away, feeling that Jesus should not be bothered with children.

"But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God". Jesus then taught that only those people who accept the gospel with the faith of a little child could enter the kingdom of God.

Jesus loved the children and “took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them”.

Why do you think the people wanted to bring their children to see, touch or hear Jesus? (Mark 10:13)
