Luke 18:15-17

Jesus and the children

About the next group of questions

In this passage, we read what Jesus thinks about young children. It tells us why we should be like children. We need to be like children before we can enter God’s kingdom.

Pray

Ask God to help you to learn from this lovely passage.

Read: Luke 18:15-17

18:15 Who did people bring to Jesus? What did the parents want Jesus to do for their babies? What did the disciples do to the parents?

18:16 What did Jesus do about the babies and children? How should we behave towards little children? What sort of people are in the kingdom of God?

18:17 What must we do to enter the kingdom?

Final remarks

Jesus wants children to know and to love him. Some people say that children are not important. He is not happy when they say that. A child is humble and trusting. Jesus wants members of his kingdom to be like that.

Pray

Father, thank you that you love little children. Thank you that their simple trust makes you happy. Help me to trust you at all times. Amen.
