A Simplicity of Faith

The way Jesus interacts with kids shows us both how He wants us to interact with kids and also how He wants us to relate to Him.

Scripture

  • Mark 10:13-16

Teaching Notes

“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 NIV
