How true it is and children are neglected everyday all around us. #Repost @desiringgod ・・・ "Once a crowd of people came to Jesus with their children. They had hoped that, upon seeing them, Jesus would lay his hands on the children and pray. The associates of Jesus, however, rebuked the people. The Master doesn’t have time for kids. They’re too beneath him. Get them out of here.⠀ ⠀ It’s not as harsh as it sounds. We might even have done the same.⠀ ⠀ But Jesus speaks the corrective word: 'Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven' (Matthew 19:14). And then, as Matthew tells us, 'he laid his hands on them' (Matthew 19:15).⠀ ⠀ When Jesus did this, both for his day and for our own, he marked himself as an advocate for children. Let the little children come to me. This means, in a beautiful way we can’t quite fathom, that Jesus loves your children more than you do.⠀ ⠀ It means, as God has told us in his word, that he is for the youngest and frailest among us. It means that he is in this fight on our side and has been fighting for years.⠀ ⠀ It means that when the nausea sets in, or when we’re wrestling the worst of demons, though it’s not easy, we are going to win this battle."⠀ ⠀ Read more at desiringGod.org.
