Cornerstone Bible Study - 3/7 "Let the childrem come to me"

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here is the information for this week's Bible study.

How well intended the disciples of Jesus must have been when they turned away moms and dads bringing their children to be blessed by Jesus, indicating perhaps Jesus is a very busy man and what he is proclaiming carries such a deep spiritual message that even adults find difficult to grasp. Perhaps suggesting that they should take the children to be blessed by the town rabbi instead. But Jesus surprises them to welcome the children to be close to him, and went on proclaiming that it is to such children that the kingdom of God belongs.

Dear Lord Jesus, we know how much you love and welcome any movement from us to be close to you. May we accept our role as children of God and open our hearts with tenderness and seek all opportunities to flock to you like a child would do. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Do not forget your Lenten prayer exercise and bring the harvest of your prayer or your experience of the presence of God for sharing after Bible study.

God Bless,

Maria
