A Thought for the week
Week of April 6
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
I think you’ve heard this passage before. I might have even done a weekly thought about it but it’s still good to come back to. Often seeking Jesus is a path of understanding and knowledge. Though these things are important, it is not how to receive the Kingdom of God. We are to be like children. To look at Jesus Christ in wonder and trust; not knowing who he is fully but having faith that he is important. May we often pray and look at Jesus like with the mind of a child: pure faith and trust in our Lord and Savior.
