Jesus loves little children

Did you know that Jesus loves children?

Many adults feel children are always in the way or needing attention. They treat children like a nuisance and a burden. They don’t seem to like children much. Jesus’ disciples tried to keep the children away from Jesus because they thought the children would be wasting His time. But when Jesus found out, He actually got angry with His disciples! He welcomed the children to Him and prayed for them.

Jesus said that if we want to be a part of His kingdom, then we need to become like little children. Children are ready to receive God’s kingdom. They aren’t so focused on material possessions like houses, cars and money. They don’t place the value of life in what they have. For them the only valuable thing is joy in playing games. We need to learn to be like to children: to place value not in what we have on earth but in the joy of God’s kingdom.

Children are humble and free to receive God’s kingdom. They don’t hold onto their prejudices and their ideas of how the world should work, but they are ready to learn. They don’t hold onto grudges and unforgiveness. They forgive freely and trust easily.

To receive God’s Life, we need to let go of our own life.

Will you become like a child and receive God’s Life?

Mark 10:13-16 (ESV)

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.  Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

Who can make a paralyzed man walk and who can forgive sins?

by | Dec 20, 2021 | Burning questions, Discover the Bible, Forgiveness, Truth

One day Jesus was teaching in a house. There were so many people listening to Him, that some people who were bringing a paralyzed man on a bed couldn’t get through to Him. These people were so desperate to bring their friend to Jesus that they went up on the house’s roof and let him down through the tiles of the roof into the middle of all the people where Jesus was standing.

The people brought their friend to Jesus so that He could heal him, but the first thing Jesus did when He saw their faith in Him was to say to the paralyzed man, “Your sins are forgiven you.” The people around Jesus were upset because only God could forgive people’s sins, but Jesus claimed to have the authority to forgive sins. Jesus knew what the people were thinking, and so to prove His claim He said to the paralyzed man, “Stand up and walk.” And the paralyzed man did exactly that – he was healed and he stood up and walked!

Jesus showed His power by healing a paralyzed man. He also claimed to be able to forgive people’s sins. Do you believe He can heal you? Do you believe He can forgive your sins?

Mark 2:1-12 (ESV)

And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

Am I loved?

by | Nov 22, 2021 | Burning questions, Discover the Bible, Light, Speak to God, Truth

Am I loved? In this world, this is a question we all ask many times. Lots of us have been hurt by those closest to us, by fathers or mothers or brothers or sisters or friends. We feel lonely and unloved. Sometimes we even feel that we aren’t good enough to be loved by anyone.

In The Book, God tells us that He loves us – yes, every single one of us! It doesn’t matter whether you are old or young, male or female, what people you are descended from, or even what mistakes you have made in your life. In fact, God says that He loves even sinners. We don’t have to do anything to earn this love – He gives it to us freely like a gift. He even promises to wipe away all our sins and make us completely clean.

The only thing we must do is receive this gift by believing in Jesus Christ.

Will you receive the love of God?
