“Blessing the Children”
The Simplicity of Faith and the Sacred Trust of Child Guidance
In ancient Jewish society, rabbis seldom gave attention to young children, but Jesus opened His arms to them, declaring that of such is the kingdom of heaven. This chapter reveals Christ’s deep sympathy for parents, His love for the young, and the divine call to train youth in simple faith.
