MATTHEW 19: 14 "Suffer little children to come to me"

Jesus loves little children

October 13, 2021

As written in,

Matthew 19: 13 “The people brought little children to Jesus, so that he should lay his hands on them, and pray; and his disciples rebuked them.” 

Matthew 19: 14 “But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come to me, for such is the kingdom of heaven.”

The disciples rebuked them, they may have said, do not bring the children here, it is time for them to go home.

But Jesus said, let them come to me, for such is the kingdom of heaven.  

Matthew 19: 15 “And he laid his hands on them, and departed.”

“Receive the kingdom of God as a  little child”

In Luke 18: 15-17

Luke 18: 15 And, the people also brought infants to Jesus, that he would touch them; but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

Luke 18: 16 But Jesus called them, and said come here, and said, ‘Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.’

Luke 18: 17 Truly I say unto you, Whoever, shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter in there.
