JESUS LOVED THE LITTLE CHILDREN
LET THEM COME---JESUS LOVED THE
LITTLE CHILDREN
“Jesus said to his disciples,
Things that cause people to sin
are bound to come
It would be better for him
To be thrown in to the sea
With a millstone around his neck
Than to cause one of these little ones to sin
So watch yourselves.”
Luke 17:2 & 3
3 million reports
Of child abuse
Are made every year
In the United
States
Jesus loved the little children
Children are a reward from the Lord Psalm 127:3
In 2007,
Approximately 5.8 million children
Were involved
In an estimated 3.2 million
Child abuse reports and allegations
Jesus loved the little children
Almost 5 children die every day
From child abuse More than 3 out of 4
Are under the age of 4
My heart aches
My heart breaks
I don’t think anything in the whole world
Disturbs me as much
As a child being sexually exploited
90% of child abuse victims
Knew the perpetrator
In some way
68% of those abused
Are abused by family members
“People were bringing the little
children to Jesus
To have him touch them
But the disciples rebuked them
Jesus saw this, became
indignant, and said
“Let the children come to me
And do not hinder them
For the Kingdom
of God
Belongs to such as these
I tell you the truth
Anyone who will not receive
The Kingdom
of God
Like a little child
Will not enter into it”
And he took
The children in his arms
Put his hands on them
And blessed them” Luke 18:13 thru 17
Jesus loved the children
Let us
Hold a thought and a prayer
For ALL the abused children
And let us ALL
Work to make this a better world
So that we can truly say
“LET THEM COME”
