Scripture Post #539: *INFANTS BROUGHT TO JESUS*

Luke 18:

15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Not only little children, but infants too were brought to JESUS!

To come to CHRIST as a child basically means to come to HIM humbly:

Matt. 18:1: "At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

V. 2: "And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,"

V. 3: "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

V. 4: "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Humble as small children.
