Babies were being brought to Jesus.
Apparent the disciples thought that such was unworthy of Jesus.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Jesus was indignant with how the disciples behaved.
Jesus said that the Kingdom of God belongs to these.
Who are “these”?
Jesus explains.
Whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.
The Kingdom is entered by faith - child-like faith.
But, there are some others here also.
What of those who brought the children to Jesus?
This too is faith.
Parents bringing their children to the Lord.
May be do likewise.
Do not hinder children.
Do not hinder child-like faith.
Allow the children to be held in the arms of the Lord, blessed by Him.
