Matthew 19:13

O.K. I may be a little on the quick side here because I am a day behind in my posting, but have forged on a head in my reading so I will see if I can catch up here.
Matt 19:13
There is plenty here to keep on occupied and interested in what Jesus is saying but I am going to start with verse 13 because Jesus is once again talking about children. If you remember (just look down a post or two) and I got this epiphany that the kingdom of heaven is not some future place and time, but is rather what Jesus is exposing to us as something that he is here to show us now. Also Jesus is showing us how those who are in the kingdom of heaven behave! Now for some this may be no big deal, but it is for me, and since I am the one writing the post your welcome to watch as I do some exploring.
So as I re-read chapter 18's opening verses, Jesus called a little child over to him and told the adults around him that:
...Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
and as I read the rest of the chapter, except for the reference to the visual that he gave them by looking at a little child, the rest of the chapter is referring to those who have been converted, but identifying them as little ones or little child and then in the next paragraph as sheep.
If you want to read through that again please do, but as I read chapter 19, in verse 13 the disciples stopped children from coming to Jesus! Jesus corrected his disciples and laid his hands on the children and departed.
If perhaps you what to talk to me more about why I am so excited about what I am reading here, e-mail me and we can talk, or give me a call. I have to move on to the next topic.
