Children like treasure of heaven

2

[Matthew 19:14-15]

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

3

Today is Sunday for children.

In other words, children’s Sunday is called Flower Sunday.

So how did the children's Sunday start?

4

It began very long ago in the American’s Church in 1856.

Pastor Leonard of Universalist Church gave a special service for the children on the second Sunday of June.

As this news became known, many churches began to offer children Sunday worship services.

5

Children's Sunday is called Flower Sunday in 1870 when it comes to the

Children's Sunday School of Lowell Congregational Church in the state of

Massachusetts, USA.

The pastor of Lowell Church expressed that the children are beautiful and

fragrant like flowers by decorating the church all over the children's Sunday.

From that day on, Children's Sunday was called Flower Sunday in other words.

6

Don’t you wonder what our Savior Jesus said about children like you?

Let's take a look at two things in the Bible.

7

One day a quarrel arose within the disciples of Jesus.

The quarrel was that who among the disciples was higher?

Older people say older ones are higher.

A smart person says that smart ones are higher.

8

The disciples who were unable to come to the conclusion decided to go to Jesus.

"Lord, who is the highest man among us?

"The disciples waited for the words of Jesus, hoping that Jesus would tell

Himself.

9

Jesus called a little child and set it up among his disciples. And he said.

"If you are not like this child, you can not enter the kingdom of heaven.

He who humiliates himself like this little child is the highest person in the kingdom of heaven."

10

He said that he should especially care for a child who believes in Jesus.

He said that a child who believes in Jesus should never do sin.

Jesus really counted a little child like you.

11

Jesus was teaching the Word once.

At that time there were mothers who brought the children.

These mothers have come to expect Jesus to pray for their children.

12

Mothers took their children and went to Jesus.

At that time, the disciples of Jesus stopped their mothers and said,

"Do not bring your children here. Jesus interferes with teaching people.

Take the children away."

13

Mothers felt sorry that they could not meet Jesus.

The disciples will stop the children from coming to Jesus because they think

that they are an obstacle to Jesus' speaking.

At that time, Jesus saw this.

14

Jesus said to His disciples:

"Do not stop the little children from coming to me. The children were able to go to Jesus

15

Jesus told the gathered people how precious these children are.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a child like this."

It is said that a child, like a child, should be a lowly and humble person and

be a people of heaven.

16

Then he put his hand on the head of the little children.

One of them blessed them as they were laying a prayer.

The mothers of the children were so happy to see it.

Jesus loved children like you this way.

17

Jesus is pleased to bless you who have become children of God.

Sometimes you are ignored by people because you are young, but our Jesus

never ignores you.

Rather, he says that each one of you is truly worthy. And let 's remember

that he is the one who imparts unchanging love equally.

I hope that you will be the children of Jesus, who are always smitten with the

love of Jesus, who blesses a beautiful faith! Amen.
