03.04.2016 New Testament: Mark 10.14–15

To read the Bible in a year, read Mark 10.1–31 on March 4, In the year of our Lord 2016

What do you think of the present state of the world? Are you optimistic about the future? Do you believe things will only get worse? If think the world is bad and that it will get worse, what are you doing about it? One thing you can do is bring children to the Kingdom of God.

The disciples of Jesus thought that He could not be “bothered” with children, so the future preachers tried to keep the children away from Him, but watch Him,

But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it” (Mark 10.14–15).

We can help make a better world tomorrow by bringing children to the Kingdom of God! Do not keep your children away from Bible classes. Bring them to every event of the church.

Questions:

• How old were you when you first learned of the Kingdom of God?
• How do you treat the children in your home congregation?
