“Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
Children must trust and receive the care of others, and only in that same way does the kingdom of God come to us. Jesus welcomes children and makes it clear that they, too, have a place in the Kingdom.
“The kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” indicates that only those exhibiting childlike humility and dependence on God can enjoy the benefits of His kingdom. The kingdom of God comes to all who humbly trust the Lord, no matter what their age or status. Just as an infant may inherit the parents’ blessings and property, so any person may receive the inheritance of God’s kingdom – salvation. Grace, faith, and everlasting life are all gifts of God.
God’s blessings on your day…
