In this 10th chapter of the Book of Mark there are so many choices on which to write some short thoughts. Jesus' teaching concerning divorce and the hardness of men's hearts. The story of the rich young ruler and the difficulty presented by riches. Jesus telling His disciples of His coming arrest, death and resurrection. James' and John's request to sit next to Jesus in His glory, one on His right and one on His left. The healing of the blind beggar, Bartimaeus. But I was drawn to something that many would consider much simpler I suppose. In verses 13 through 16 we read that children were being brought to Jesus so that He might touch them. When Jesus saw His disciples rebuking those who were bringing the children to Him, we read that He became indignant with them. And then He is quoted as having said to His disciples, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” And then verse 16 tells us that He took the children into His arms and began blessing them. Perhaps in a different way, this seems so similar to what has occurred in my life and the lives of all others who find themselves in Christ. Jesus took me into His arms one day and began blessing me. And although that day has now been over thirty years ago, I remain in His arms and I remain in His blessings. Oh, how thankful we ought to be for being in the arms of Jesus.
