People were bringing babies to Jesus so that he would bless them. When the disciples saw this, they scolded them. Then Jesus called them to him and said, “Allow the children to come to me. Don’t forbid them, because God’s kingdom belongs to people like these children. I assure you that whoever doesn’t welcome God’s kingdom like a child will never enter it.” (Luke 18:15-17, CEB)
Do not keep people from coming to Jesus.
Really why would we think that we should keep people from Jesus?
Children in Jesus’ time were to not be heard or seen. They were property and not good things to have around. That is why the disciples were trying to keep them away. A man in Jesus’ time would not want to see the children.
But Jesus isn’t like other humans.
We need to be like Jesus.
We need to love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
