Today in our society some see children

. . . as a nuisance, but Jesus sees them differently. He shows us this vividly when parents bring their children to be blessed by Him. The disciples were offended that pesky kids interrupted Christ's ministry. They rebuked the parents, then Jesus rebuked them.

Mark 10:14-15 . . . Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Child-like faith is trusting like a child, and that's why accepting Christ is so simple.
Parents are responsible for children's spiritual walfare. Taking them to church and telling them about Jesus won't save them, but it will introduce them to Him. Christians share that responsibility.

In twenty years these little lives running around will be the song leader, preacher, and Sunday school teacher.

Christ took the children up in his arms, and, putting his hands upon them, He blessed them. He promised to bless your children if you bring them to Him.
