Jesus Welcomes Little Children

The sermon explores the significance of Jesus' welcoming of children, drawing from Matthew and Mark to address the ongoing debate surrounding infant baptism within Presbyterian and Reformed traditions. Rather than settling the debate directly, it emphasizes that the passage reveals Jesus' unrelenting goodness, tender approachability, and willingness to bless all who come to him, illustrating the spiritual dependency required for entering the kingdom of God. Ultimately, the message calls for parents to actively instruct their children through family worship and consistent church attendance, encouraging all to embrace a childlike spirit of dependence on Christ as the one who grants access to God's kingdom.
