We have arrived at one of the most precious and most ignored Accountability’s in the Word of God. It is The Accountability to Children.Jesus had just finished teaching about the very serious matter of marriage and divorce. As soon as that discussion is finished, Jesus turns His attention to some little children that are being brought to Him by their parents. It was a Jewish tradition to bring small children to a great rabbi so that he could bless them and pray for them. It was also common for parents to take their children to the synagogue, where each of the elders would take the child in his hands and pray for the life of the child.This is much the same thing that we still do today when we dedicate a child and parents to the Lord.These parents are severely rebuked by the Lord’s disciples. Apparently, they felt that the master’s time was too valuable to spend on small children. Jesus, in turn, rebuked them for their attitude regarding these children. He told the disciples in no uncertain terms that little children were what the kingdom of Heaven was all about.It is appropriate that Jesus should give us this teaching about little children just after He spoke about the marriage relationship.The statement “and they twain shall be one flesh” (Matt. 19:15) is literally fulfilled when a married couple come together to produce a child.15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.Now, let’s face it: children can be noisy in church; they require a lot of special attention and special programs; and they cannot contribute to the financial burden of the church. But, children are not a curse to be endured, they are a blessing to be enjoyed! Psalm 127:3 Heritage of the Lord.”
