Mark 10 · Grade 3
Let the Children Come
Read the Story
People brought little children to Jesus so He would touch them. The disciples told them to stop. Jesus was not pleased. He said, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid them, for God's Kingdom belongs to such as these." He took them in His arms and blessed them.
A rich man ran to Jesus and asked how to have eternal life. Jesus looked at him and loved him. He told him to sell what he had, give to the poor, and follow Him. The man went away sad, because he had many things. Jesus said, "all things are possible with God."
James and John asked for the best places. Jesus said, "the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Then blind Bartimaeus called to Jesus. Jesus said, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." He could see!
