Lesson 1663

(Lesson 1663)(04-28-16) Mark 10:13-16

"And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 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. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them."

Today's quote relates that children are just as important to the church as are adults.

As Christian people, and in many spiritual ways literally children ourselves, we are to lift up our children to God while they are young, teaching them the full gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ before they are hardened by the ways of the world.

I shudder to think where my life would be today had my mother not taught me from a very young age that Jesus Christ is the savior of all those who will put their faith in Him.~
