The little children in our picture today, appear to have come to take the cows home to be milked. Little boys and girls are very fond of a glass of nice rich milk, and baby too. How she cries when she is hungry for her milk. It is food for her it strengthens and nourishes her, and father and mother are so pleased to see her grow.
And so it is, when boys and girls accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, they are “babes in Christ” and will desire the sincere milk of the Word, that they may grow thereby 1 Peter 2:22As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: (1 Peter 2:2).
How many dear little children attend Sunday school, and hear of that blessed One, Who when on earth, said,
“SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN, AND FORBID THEM NOT, TO COME UNTO ME: FOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” Matt. 19:1414But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14).
How much Jesus loved the little ones! Are you not thankful that Jesus said “little children?” Had he not said this, you, no doubt, might have thought His love was going out only to the older ones. But to those who are older He said,
“Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 18:33And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3).
