...for of such is the kingdom of God.



I watched a sermon of Joseph Prince this morning. He talked about the only time where it's recorded in the Word of God that it says Jesus was "greatly displeased" was in Mark 10:13-16. You can read it below.

13 Then they brought little children to Him, that He might
touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who brought
 them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased 
and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, 
and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive
the kingdom of God as a little child will by no
means enter it." 16 And He took them up in His
arms, laid His hands on them and blessed them.

From this passage, we can learn that Jesus had a very soft heart for children. You didn't mess with His kids! And they really do belong to Him. As parents, we committed our children to God when they were very small. As they get older and are finally grown, we don't (or shouldn't) all of a sudden take them back...we dedicated them to God. He is far more able to care for them than we are. 

Children are full of faith. They believe what their Daddy or Mommy tells them. They take it at face value. In the same way, so should we. We just need to believe the Word of God.                ~ Blessings on your day!
