Matthew 19:13-15
Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away. (ESV)
by John J. Pethtel
Jesus prayed for little children. Do we pray for our children and the children involved with our church? Do we do it regularly? Most of us have been a part of a dedication service in which our church pledges to help raise the child in the ways of God. How actively do we participate in that pledge?
