From the life of Jesus Christ
Let the children come
Parents brought their little children to Jesus so that he could touch and bless them. His disciples told the parents to stop. When Jesus saw this, he was upset with them. He said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.”
He said that anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. Then he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Where to read it: Mark 10:13–16. See also Matthew 19:13–15 and Luke 18:15–17.
