May the peace and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Special blessings to all leaders of the International Ministry @Steemchurch. A child in his state of innocence, due to his little experience in life, is not contaminated with the malice of the world. He is an inexperienced being, easy to doctrine and guide the path of justice.
When the children were taken to the Lord Jesus to touch them, the disciples were preventing him, they did not want the children to approach the Lord of life. More Jesus, calling them, said:
Let the children come to me, and don't stop them; Because of such is the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, he who does not receive the kingdom of God as a child will not enter it (Luke 18: 16-17).
In children abound innocence, affection, sincere love. A child may be angry for a brief moment, but it happens quickly. The child does not hold a grudge, although he may be disciplined, but soon, he forgets the punishment and approaches the one who rebukes him lovingly.
All this is totally different in the adult. The adult holds a grudge, becomes irritated and enraged until he becomes dangerous with his neighbor. Therefore, it is necessary for the adult to enter the kingdom of heaven as a child, that is, in a state of innocence. For all this to be achieved, you must be born in spirit and in water, so that the birth in spirit allows you to have a new heart, with the ability to love God and to love your neighbor.
The Lord Jesus commanded his disciples to let the children approach him. In children there is joy, there is an overflow of innocence and love. His screams of joy are screams of hope. We were able to contact this joy when we celebrated the "International Children's Day" in our community, shouting, singing and with cheerful voices, the children shared and enjoyed a wonderful and special moment. Thanks to the support of the Ministry @Steemchuch International, the children enjoyed a different day, which included candy stores, parties and meals.
Who gives a glass of water to one of these little ones, gives it to the Lord. Who gives a sweet or sweet to a child, gives it to God. We cannot prevent children from coming to Christ. It is necessary to receive the kingdom of God as a child.
