JESUS REACHES OUT TO CHILDREN
Matthew 18:3-5 Disciples question: who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?
Jesus called a little child to him. “Unless you become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”
Mt. 18:6 If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe on me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone around his neck and be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mark 10:13-16 They brought young children to Him to touch them.
The Disciples objected.
Jesus much displeased by the Disciples reaction.
Jesus welcomes the children.
Hymnal: Jesus loves the little children.
Sermon on the mount Mt. 5:3-8. Blessed are the poor in spirit…
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.
Father-son relationship: Prayer to your Father who is in heaven Mt. 6:5-6.
As a child pleas for daily bread. Mt. 6:11.
The Canaanite woman’s plea for her son vexed with the devil. Mt.15:21-28.
Jesus answered not a word.
Disciples besought Him to send her away. She is a Gentile.
Jesus says I am sent to the lost sheep of Israel.
She worships Jesus and pleas for help.
Jesus says Bread for the child (Jew), not the dog (gentile).
The woman’s amazing statement: True Lord yet the dogs eat the crumbs that fall.
Jesus’s final response: great is thy faith be it unto thee as thou wilt.
Why did Jesus go to Tyre and Sidon? To begin expanding His ministry to Gentiles.
