Parenting Bible Study - God's Eye View of Our Children
Matthew 19:13-15 ASV, Mark 10:13-16 ASV and Luke 18:15-17 ASV
We must never hold anyone back from the Lord. Especially children. Children show us how to be innocent and trusting, For it is the only way to enter the Kingdom.Today we tend to ignore children and push them away as we believe they have nothing to teach us.
The disciples actions and attitudes made the children feel they are less than important in our lives.
The disciples showed the children they were unwanted by the Lord.
My children are special to me because they are my responsibilty to raise in a loving environment to feel wanted and needed.
If I was one of the parents of these children who were rebuked by the Lord I would have felt sadden by the attitudes of the disciples as we all have a right to see the Lord.
I believe today children are hindered in coming to the Lord as some adults believe children don't have anything important to teach us about our walk with the Lord.
A child can teach us how to receive the kingdom of God because they innocently trust in the Lord.
The best way an adult can teach children the attitude of Jesus has toward them is to listen, love and to never push children away.
Jesus had an urgent mission to adults which had many demands on him, yet he made it a priority to hug and bless these children. We must also do the same.
