Jesus and the Children.

Let us not forget, that whether or not there are thousands of unaccompanied minors coming to the US for help, there thousands unaccompanied minors already here…

Luke 18:15-17
15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Jesus came to clarify the law. This is a beautiful example of a Him clarifying the fact that to come to the Father as a child is the greatest gift. With innocence in your heart, and love on your mind. This is what Jesus is telling us we must do.

There is a key word in this passage that is often overlooked. Receive. We must receive as children receive. Ask as children ask. As we do, the Holy Spirit will begin to strengthen you. This will create the relationship that is so vital an beautiful. It is so beautiful that it seeps out of every pour and you become a walking witness for Jesus. Without even saying a word. Just like a beautiful child.

Lord God, we come to you tonight to praise you. You are Holy and worthy of all praise. Lord, we thank you for all the many blessings we have received, are currently receiving, and those blessings that we will receive tomorrow. God, we also come to ask you for particular and specific prayers. Please hear us oh Lord. We cry out to you now. We love yoi. We thank you. We praise you. In the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
