Luke 18: 15 – 16 (NKJV) Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
The disciples were the ones that rebuked the children. They were the very ones that Jesus spent a lot of time with while walking this earth, teaching them and training them about the things of God.
You would think that they would have been the ones to know it would be alright to bring the children to Jesus, but they didn’t. Not until Jesus Spoke up.
Some priests, pastors, ministers, and other leaders that are supposedly close to Jesus have also rebuked things and have forbidden them from being allowed in the church. These things are scriptural; things that Jesus wants to be taught, that it may help the church, that it may help His children.
We all need to be careful to know the heart of Jesus, to know what His Word says and to feel free to walk in it, and to not rebuke something quickly because we don’t think it’s right or allowed.
If we’re not sure of some things, or we don’t understand it, we need to pray and ask God for His help and understanding.
There are many of His children being pulled away from Him because of a lack of understanding. Let Jesus speak up today. If there is learning to be done, He is the GREATEST Teacher! Amen.
