Chosen: Mark 10: 13-14

 Chosen: Mark 10: 13-14 by ric gustafson


People were bringing their children to Jesus. They just wanted him to place his hands on them. According to Mark 10, the disciples rebuked them. Jesus saw what the disciples were doing. Jesus told the disciples let the little children come to me. Do not hinder them. Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to them. 
The children were vulnerable and in need. These were the people Jesus came to save. Children are simple. They are awestruck by the world around them. They are trusting and moldable. By nature, they are not judgmental. The children want to get into Jesus's lap and be cared for. Jesus put his arms around them, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
