Parents everywhere wanted Jesus to bless their children, but some of the disciples thought He was too important to spend His time on kids. When Jesus heard what the disciples told the parents, He was upset and told them not to stop the children from coming to Him, because they were the ones who could receive God’s kingdom. We need to come to Jesus with childlike faith, trusting Him, and He will accept us too!
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
What is something that you trust God with?
Create your own comic strip version of Jesus blessing the children and give it to a friend (or younger brother or sister) to tell them how important they are to Jesus.
Father God, help me to trust You more every day. Amen.
