Highlight: Matthew 19:14 NIV [14] Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.19.14.NIV Explain: When the disciples tried to stop children from coming to Jesus, He said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Jesus was showing that children, with their humility, trust, and purity of heart, represent the attitude needed to enter God’s kingdom. He values the faith and openness of children and invites all to come to Him in the same spirit. Apply: This reminds us to come to Jesus with childlike faith—trusting Him fully, without pride or doubt. It also challenges us not to be a hindrance to others, especially the young, in coming to know Christ. Instead, we should guide, encourage, and nurture them in faith. By keeping a humble and teachable heart like a child, we can experience the fullness of God’s kingdom. Respond: Heavenly Father, I love You with all my heart. Give us a child-like-faith and guide us how to be humble and teachable. Thank You for Your faithfulness. In Jesus my Redeemer I pray, Amen
