Mark 10:13-16
People were bringing children to Jesus that he might touch them,
but the disciples rebuked them.
When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them,
“Let the children come to me; do not prevent them,
for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Amen, I say to you,
whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child
will not enter it.”
Then he embraced the children and blessed them,
placing his hands on them.
Si Jesus at ang Maliliit na Bata
Marcos 10:13-16
Dinala nila kay Jesus ang maliliit na bata upang mahipo niya, ngunit sinaway ng mga alagad ang nagdala sa mga bata.
Subalit lubhang nagalit si Jesus nang makita ito. Sinabi niya sa kanila: Pahintulutan ninyong lumapit sa akin ang mga bata at huwag ninyo silang hadlangan, sapagkat sa mga katulad nila nauukol ang paghahari ng Diyos.
Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Ang sinumang hindi tumanggap sa paghahari ng Diyos nang tulad sa isang maliit na bata ay hindi makakapasok doon sa anumang paraan.
Nang makalong ni Jesus at maipatong ang kaniyang mga kamay sa mga bata, pinagpala niya sila.

Jesus not only gives the children their importance and His blessing. He also proposes them as models of belonging to God’s kingdom.
Children are His example about how to accept the good news of God’s love with an open, simple, and humble attitude.
God bless us all!
