In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the same story is told, of how parents brought their children to Jesus in the hopes that He would just lay hands upon them. At this particular time, Jesus was teaching followers and debating with the Pharisees. So, naturally, His disciples could see that He had no time for the children. (They were wrong!)
Jesus, in His loving way, took this opportunity to not only re-instruct His disciples, but also teach all who were in attendance something very important about the Kingdom of Heaven and the gift of salvation. The lesson Christ taught that day, to all who were in attendance, is still very important for us to remember today.
