Today’s Scripture: Mark 10 – “Kid’s to the Front Please”
 
Memory Verse: but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are like these children. Matthew 19:14 (NCV)
 -----------------
 Today we talked about...kids...and how IMPORTANT they are!
 
It was a pretty great lesson :)
 
We read from Mark and learned that while Jesus was teaching a crowd one day some people brought kids to Jesus and asked Him to bless them.
 
When adults are together usually kids aren’t allowed. And that’s what many in the crowd thought. They expected Jesus to say something like “now’s not a good time!”
 
But Jesus did the exact opposite. In fact, He used the opportunity to teach everyone about what is important to God.
 
Kids are important to God! Jesus told the crowd that more adults should be like kids and believe in Jesus as easily as they do. Kids don’t do a lot of debating and arguing about who Jesus is and what He did. They simply accept Jesus and trust in Him. It’s...simple!
