Mark 10:13-16
Jesus Blesses the Children
13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so He could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering Him.
14 When Jesus saw what was happening, He was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” 16 Then He took the children in His arms and placed His hands on their heads and blessed them.
Jesus said "For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children." So what does He mean by that? Have you ever had a child look at you with wide eyes, with complete focus, really listening to what you say? They are trusting what you are telling them. They believe you because they believe in you.
That's child like faith. That's the faith we need to believe in Jesus. It's not some complicated structure of laws and rules, it's not a bunch of steps we have to take in order to be saved. Its humbling our heart and mind to the simplicity of a child so we can fully experience the awe in awesome and the wonder in wondrous that is our God.
Blessings, Cecilia
