Golden Text
Suffer Little ehilren, end forbi
them not, to come unto Me : for o
such le the Kingdom of Heave
(Matt. 19:4),
Christ's coming to earth has give:
children rights they never had be
fore. Christ has shown ail men that
unless they become as little child
ren, there is no hope for them
Christ has given to adult steward
ship of little children 'a precious
nese and a staggering responsibility
it never had before. And the eter-
• nal Christ condescended to come
into this world as a babe and grow
up as a little child before entering
upon His manhood ministry and
consummating God's prophecies for
the redemption of lost sinners.
Men are always interested in hu-
man greatness, .They are not al-
ways as interested in knowing God'.;
thoughts on the subject "For My
thoughts are not your thonehts...
saith the Lord." When the disciples
asked the Lord Jesus who was the
greatest o'' the Kingdom of Hei.ven
He surprised them by setting a lit-
tle child in their midst and making
two statements : First, those very
disciples could not enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven unless they
turned straight around and b crane
as little children : and whoever
"shall humble himself as this tittle
child. the sante is greatest in the
Kingdom of Heaven."
Way? Littre children re helpless
and they know they are helpless,
They know they h..ve lots of nerds
that can only be met by others,
not by themselves, They know
that they know very little ; that
they have much to ln:,rn. They are
ready and ot.ger to be cared for.
to be protected, to be told what to
do, to he guided. And only rt•own
people who have this spirit of lit-
tle children can enter the King-
dom of Heaven, for only such : re
willing to acknowledge to God their
used and let Him save them. Little
children are constant examples of
living by grace, in their readiness
to Iet others do everything for them
Only by grace can we enter the
Kingdom of Heaven, as we let
God do everything in the matter of
our salvation.
The one who is most conscious of
his helplessness and his meed can
receive most from God in the way
of power and guidance and en•
abling for service ; therefore such '
a one is "greatest in the Kingdom t
of Heaven."
Service to the helpless in the e
name of the Lord Jesus is service
to the Lord Jesus,
At another time when the disci
les rebuffed young children w
were brought to Christ "that I
; should touch them," the Lor
showed His great displeasure an
I uttered the gracious word that ha
come down through the centuries
d "Suffer the little children to com
f unto Me, and forbid them not, fo
n of such is the Kingdom of God."
• "Of suds." That is, the Kingdoi
of God consists only of those wh
t have the childlike spirit. We haw
- seen, from the lesson passage, wh
• it is necessarily so. One who is no
- ready to "receive the Kingdom a
• God as a little child"" cannot ente
- therein. God cannot save the scif
- sufficient, but only those who know
as do little -children, that they are
in need, and those who are ready
to teuit Flim implicitly as childten
are so ready to trust.
Their elders had brought these
young children to the Lord hoping
that He might just "touch them."
He did "mulch more." For "He took
them up in His arms, put His hands
upon them and blessed them." The
Lord neve: lets .us go with a mere
touch when we come to Hint in
humble longing for His blessing.
The Lord in His humanity had
been a Iittle child. The immortal
Christmas chapter in Luke 2, tells
th•' old, old story that is ever new.
The Virgin Mary, chosen of God
to be the Lum n mother of the Son
of God, "brought forth her first-
born Son and wrapped Him in
