“And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.”
Mark 10:13 KJV
The parents kept bringing their little children to Jesus so that He would lay His hands on them and bless them. But the disciples kept rebuking and scolding the people for doing it. This displeased Jesus so much that He rebuked them. Jesus touched them, as He blessed each one, for this laying on of His hands was an importation of blessing. Jesus sees each child as important and individual. Parents should always bring their children to be blessed by Jesus. The disciples were unable to see people as Jesus sees them. Jesus goes on to explain, “These children are at the very centre of life in the Kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God’s Kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.” As David said, “Yahweh, our Sovereign God, Your glory streams from the heavens above, filling the earth with the majesty of Your Name! People everywhere see Your splendor. You have built a stronghold by the songs of children. Strength rises up with the chorus of infants. This kind of praise has power to shut satan’s mouth. Childlike worship will silence the madness of those who oppose You.” Let’s become as a child in loving and worshipping our Father in heaven. Amen!
