Let
The Little Children Come To Me,
And
Do Not Hinder Them,
For
The Kingdom Of God Belongs To Such As These.
Scripture
Luke
18
15 People
were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on
them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus
called the children to him and said, “Let the little children
come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these.
17 Truly I
tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a
little child will never enter it.”
Observation
Last
Sunday I had the opportunity to be a part of our youngest
granddaughter's dedication ceremony at our church. Our beautiful
little granddaughter Eden is 3 months old. I used this passage, Luke
18:15-17 to encourage her Mom and Dad, her grandparents, and our
church family not to hinder little Eden from coming to Jesus.
I
don't know about you but I want all of our children and our
grandchildren to have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
I
want so much for them to see Jesus in me. I sure don't want to be a
hindrance to them coming to Jesus.
So
let me say to all of us who are Mom's and Dad's and who have the joy
of being grandparents, “Let's not hinder our children and/or our
grandchildren from coming to Jesus.”
Application
I
will constantly pray for my children and my grandchildren. I will
always try to encourage them and not hinder them from knowing Jesus.
How
about you? Are you setting an example for your kids and grandkids to
follow?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You have blessed us with 5 children and 15 grandchildren. We
are blessed. Help me be a positive example in each one of their
lives. I pray that each one of them will have a personal relationship
with You. Help my children raise their children in a way that pleases
You. Bring godly people into my children and grandchildren's lives to
encourage them and to help them to know You better. Nothing is too
hard for You!
