DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 3; Jeremiah 36; Hebrews 8

They brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark 10:13-14

The mighty God took those little children in His arms and blessed them. The disciples would have sent them away! Are we seeking to reach the children of our generation? Are we bringing the words of our Saviour to them? The judgment seat will reveal and reward the effort invested in bringing the Gospel to the children.  —Jim Paul

But Jesus saw them ere they fled,
And sweetly smiled and kindly said,
Suffer the little children to come unto Me —William M. Hutchings
