God’s Kingdom
Mark 10:14–16

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant [angry] and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” ¹⁶ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

Children and adults must come to Jesus the same way. They need to believe (trust) that He is God’s Son, who died for their sin and came back to life. They need to trust in Jesus alone. That is the only way anyone can come to God.

Think!

Have you believed in Jesus to save you from sin? If not, you can do that right now. He wants to forgive you.

If you have believed in Jesus, He is living in you. He takes care of you. He answers your prayers. These are some of the ways He shows His love to you. Can you think of other ways?

You can pray like this:

Dear God, thank you that Jesus died for me. Thank you for all the other ways you help me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
