Dia das crianças

As crianças são preciosas aos olhos de Deus. Jesus as acolheu, abençoou e ensinou que delas é o Reino dos Céus — modelos de fé, pureza e humildade.

Jesus e as crianças

Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus abraçou, abençoou e honrou as crianças como modelo de fé para os adultos.

14 But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Mateus 19:14

The Greatest in the Kingdom

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

2 Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. 3 "Truly I tell you," He said, "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Mateus 18:1-4

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

10 See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.BYZ and TR include 11For the Son of Man came to save the lost; see Luke 19:10.

Mateus 18:10

15 But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, "Hosanna to the Son of David!"

16 "Do You hear what these children are saying?" they asked.

"Yes," Jesus answered. "Have you never read:

‘From the mouths of children and infants

You have ordained praise’Psalm 8:2 (see also LXX)?"

Mateus 21:15,16

15 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16 And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
