Family devotions
Let the children come
The disciples tried to send children away, but Jesus welcomed them and blessed them.
Read
13They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them. 14But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these. 15Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.” 16He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
Mark 10:13–16
