II. The Welcome of Jesus. (Mark 10:14)

Psalm 127:3-5 – “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”

“It is the bounden duty of every Christian congregation to make provision for the spiritual training of its children. The boys and girls of every family should be taught as soon as they can learn,—should be brought to public worship as soon as they can behave with propriety,—should be regarded with affectionate interest as the future congregation, which will fill our places when we are dead.” (J.C. Ryle)

III. The Kingdom of Jesus. (Mark 10:15)

“To receive the kingdom as a child means to set aside the pursuit for significance according to the world’s standards and to come to God with humility and faith in recognition of one’s own helplessness.” (Joel Williams)

Ephesians 2:8 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,”
