Blessing the Children
As the throngs of people listened to Jesus teaching, parents began to push through The crowds with their children. They kept bringing infants and young children to Him that He might touch them. The disciples were watching this and reproved the people for their boldness. But when Jesus saw it, He was indignant and pained, and said to them. “Allow the children to come to Me. Do not forbid or prevent or hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly I tell you whoever does not receive and accept and welcome the kingdom of God as a little child does positively shall not enter it at all. |

And Jesus took the children up one by one in His arms and fervently invoked a blessing, placing His Hand upon them. The little children snuggled close against in His chest reveling in His presence. Many of the little ones kiss his cheek as they climbed off His lap, and Jesus, His loving eyes sparkling with joy said to them. “I will never, ever forsake or leave you.” |

As the little ones walked back to their parents, the older children came and stood in line to be blessed. He touched each one and blessed them, then He told instructed them in righteousness. He asked them to repeat after Him as He recited the Ten Commandments: 1. You shall not have no other gods before Me or besides Me.
