Jesus Loves Children, and Children Love Him (Matt 14:13-15)
Jesus loved to be surrounded by people when He was here on earth. Many people wanted to see Jesus, and hear what He had to say. Jesus was happy to meet them and to talk with them. Moms and Dads wanted to bring their little children to see and hear Jesus too, and they hoped that Jesus would touch their children and pray for them. But Jesus' special friends, the disciples, thought that children were not very important, and that the Moms and Dads shouldn't be bothering Jesus with their kids. They told the parents that Jesus was too special to be spending His time with kids.
When Jesus heard the disciples saying this, He told them to stop. He told them that they were wrong. He said "Let the little children come to Me!", and the children came running! Jesus hugged them and talked with them and they smiled and laughed together. Jesus loves little children, and children love Him. Jesus loves YOU too, and He is happy when you want to talk to Him, sing songs to Him and hear stories about Him. He loves to spend time with you!
