From the Heart

Matthew 19:13-15 “Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them, for such is the kingdom of heaven.’ And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.”

As I write this, we are midway through Vacation Bible School. The words Vacation Bible School bring thoughts of hard work, long hours and many children.

But last night, as we had our closing rally with the kids, they were asked questions about the Bible stories from Monday and Tuesday night, they were all answering the questions. They heard and knew the stories about Jesus. That is what Vacation Bible School is all about. It is out of these efforts that lives will be changed for all eternity. Prayerfully we will see decisions made for Jesus this week, but if not, at least the children have heard the stories and the seed has been planted. As they encounter other situations, the opportunity exists for that seed to be watered and at some point for it to bloom and we see another person entering the kingdom of Heaven.

It was with great effort that Jesus spent long hours and faced great difficulties for us as that we might have a relationship with God the Father. I am thankful for the ministry of Vacation Bible School.
