God Quote-Little Children

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Mark 10:14.

Jesus said to His disciples, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

One of the familiar Sunday school songs learned by children at an early age is “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.” It is believed that the writer of that song, Herbert Woolston was moved by those statements of Jesus that spoke honorably of children.

While the disciples appeared to be annoyed by the little children, Jesus welcomed them, and challenged His disciples to become like children in certain ways. He said, “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Jesus draws our attention to little children as examples of faith and humility.

Mark 10:14-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
