A Fisher of Kids

"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

Choices of the children are made by adults. They are young and they need guidance. They will go where we lead them.

2. There Were Hindrances to the children
Many people don't see the importance of Children in the church. Let us be an encouragement to the children in the church.

13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. ~Mark 10:13 (NLT)

3. Jesus Welcome The Children
We are preoccupied with our own life and have little time with children, and even less for someone else children.

4. Jesus Teaches About Children's Humility
Children do not boast like adults do. They readily receive God’s love into their lives. Never think that the children are not important.

15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." ~Mark 10:15 (NLT)
