(Matthew 19:14-15 NKJV) But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” {15} And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
Just as the disciples wanted to stop the children from getting to Jesus, we too can keep our children from entering His presence at times. How? Some may keep them so busy and on a schedule that there is no time for stories and prayer.
Jesus shows in this verse how important children are to Him, He took the time for them that was needed. The children need us in their lives to teach them how to walk with God. Teaching them how to come to God is one of the most important things in this life that we as parents can give them.
We may think, “oh, I don’t have a church to bring them to in my area”. Well, that’s OK, because God did not say to “take them to church and train up a child”. No, He said, (Proverbs 22:6 NKJV) Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
This is not the responsibility of a minister or a Sunday school teacher, etc. It is our responsibility as parents.
Bring our children close to Him today and let Him touch them. Amen
