And he took the children in his arms…

 And he  took the children in his arms….

I have had the heritage of going to church and Sunday school for as long as I can remember….my first picture that I can remember from there is the picture of Jesus holding children on his lap…I knew that he loved them, that he loved me…there was never any doubt…

Oh, I can’t say there all my life was rosy without problems by any stretch…but He has held me in his arms through the thick and thin of life…and I still appreciate that picture of Jesus holding those children in his arms…He holds me still a lifetime later…

Thank YOU…

 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

Matt.19.13-15

 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.

Mark.10.13-16

 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 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. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Luke.18.15-17

 Come, my children, listen to me;I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Ps.34.11

 Children are a heritage from the Lord,offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.

Ps.127:3-5a

Jesus loves me…
