Running with Jesus  

     Luke 18:15-17 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.  But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

(“One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him.” Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.  I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

      I have heard Adrian Rogers say, “Parents it is right for you to bring your little children to Christ.”

     God gave us our little children and told us to have them to replenish the world.  Church please do not buy into the lie being fed to you today to let children make their own choice about their faith. They are children they don’t know right from wrong they have to be taught. That is exactly what the devil wants us to do.  We know there is only one God and one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ.  We are to be teachers and guides living and leading them to be good citizens, great workers and how to have eternal life and to love God. Satan is the ruler and prince and power of this world and he will not see to it their souls are in heaven.

       I am on a soap box today!  Look at the text Jesus said let them bring them…adults have to become like a child, teachable to enter heaven. For all of you grumblers who don’t like the kid’s noise, you should be thankful those little souls are there.  Parents you need to realize you may get to heaven, your laziness not getting up excited about going to church, to find you got to go to paradise and your child went to hell. Excuse me! Where do you get off thinking all this about God is not real and realize your responsibility? I may sound harsh but I am burdened for your kid’s souls. We have a lost generation.  Want somebody listen and wake up. Be real don’t let your child go to hell, beat the doors down, be the first to get them there to Sunday school.  Let me add, this starts at home teaching and then let the church be your support and undergird your teaching. You are the one teaching them. You teach them to walk, talk, eat and ride bikes so why don’t you teach them to love God.

Father, guide these parents to read Your Text Book, the Bible, live by It and teach their Children.

Tomorrow: Let’s meet the rich man!
