Jesus and the Little Children

Illustration

Illustration — not a historical photograph

One day, many families came to see Jesus. They wanted Him to bless their children.

The disciples said, ‘Jesus is too busy!’ But Jesus smiled and said, ‘Let the children come to Me. Do not stop them.’ He picked them up, put His hands on them, and blessed them.

Jesus loves children. He is never too busy for you.

What we learn

You are never too small for Jesus. He always has time for you.

Memory verse

'Let the little children come to me.' — Mark 10:14

For parents

Explain to your child that they can talk to Jesus at any time, just as friends talk to a good father.
