Thank God for those who brought the children to Jesus! They understood the importance of Jesus ministering to the little ones. Apparently, the disciples did not and quickly rebuked the people; perhaps they thought ministering to children was a waste of Jesus’ time. Jesus openly rebuked the disciples, explaining that children are essential to the Kingdom of God! The young man walking away from Jesus is representative of today’s youth. Why? We are diligent about bringing our children to various academic and social activities but are not as diligent about bringing them to Jesus. A church with no children will not be a church in a few years.
