One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so He could touch them and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering Him.
When Jesus saw what was happening, He was angry with His disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to Me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never receive it.” Then He took the children in His arms and placed His hands on them and blessed them.” (vv. 13-16, NLT)
