Dia das crianças

14 But when Jesus saw us scolding them, he said to us, "Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are humble and trusting like they are, who can experience God’s rule in their lives."

Jesus showed that being great in God’s sight means being as humble as a child.

1 About that time we disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who among us will be the most important when God [MTY/EUP] makes you king?" 2 Jesus called a child to come, and he placed that child in our midst. 3 He said, "Think about this: If you (pl) do not change the way you(pl) think and become as humble as little children, you (pl) will surely not go to the place where God [MTY/EUP] rules. 4 The people who become as humble as this child or any child is, will be the most important people among those over whom God rules.

Jesus taught that God is deeply concerned if even one person goes astray from him.

10,11 "Make an effort that you (pl) do not despise even one of these children. I tell you (pl) truly that since the angels live in heaven in the presence of my Father, they will report to him if you mistreat the children.*

15 The high priests and the men who taught the people the Jewish laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. They also saw and heard the children shouting in the Temple, "We praise the Messiah, the descendant of King David!" The religious leaders were indignant because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. 16 They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that, so they asked him, "How can you tolerate this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these children are shouting?" Then Jesus said to them, "Yes, I hear them, but if you remembered what you have read in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased [RHQ] with them. The psalmist wrote, saying to God, ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’ "

15 Note this: Those who do not trustingly allow God to direct their lives, as children do, will not enter the place where God rules." 16 Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them and asked God to bless them.

36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them, 37 "Those who, because they love me, welcome a child like this one, God considers that they are welcoming me. So it is as though they are also welcoming God, who sent me."

6 If you train/teach children to do what is right,

all during their life they will act/behave in that manner.

13 I will be the one who will teach you people

and cause things to go well with you.

3 Children are a gift that comes to parents from Yahweh;

they are a reward/blessing from him.

Children, obey your parents in every circumstance; parents, do not over-correct your children.

20 You children, obey your parents in every circumstance, because the Lord God is pleased when you do that. 21 You parents (OR, you fathers), do not correct your children more than you need to, in order that they do not become discouraged.

1 You children, because you ◄belong to/have a close relationship with► the Lord Jesus, obey your parents, because it is right for you to do that. 2 God commanded in the Scriptures,

Greatly respect your father and mother.

That is the first law that God commanded in which he also promised something. He promised,

3 If you do that, you will prosper, and you will live a long time.

4 You parents (OR, You fathers), do not treat your children so severely that they become angry. Instead, bring them up well by instructing them and by disciplining them in the manner that the Lord Jesus wants you to do.

24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you

and protect you,

25 and that he will smile at you

and act kindly toward you,

26 and that he will be good to you [IDM]

and cause things to go well for you.’"
