10:13 有人帶著小孩子來見耶穌,要耶穌摸他們,門徒便責備那些人。
10:14 耶穌看見就惱怒,對門徒說:「讓小孩子到我這裡來,不要禁止他們;因為在上帝國的,正是這樣的人。
10:15 我實在告訴你們,凡要承受上帝國的,若不像小孩子,斷不能進去。」
10:16 於是抱著小孩子,給他們按手,為他們祝福。
13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will 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.

小孩子和大人最大的差別就是沒有受到人世間的虛假與謊言的影響,容易分辨真與假,也能真誠回應!當然不能說小孩子們沒有罪性,是天真無邪,他們仍然是被罪惡污染的,是需要主耶穌的拯救!
兒童仍然需要受教育,尤其是在基督教育中,兒童教育也是非常重要的一環。正如《箴言》中說:「教養孩童,使他走當行的道,就是到老他也不偏離。」(22:6)
在我的BLOG中有<兒童基督教教育>(http://lk1591q.blogspot.com/2015/01/blog-post_34.html)中有論述到關於兒童信仰教育,當然<家庭教育>(http://lk1591q.blogspot.com/2014/10/blog-post_20.html )也是對兒童的靈性與生活都很重要的!
對父母而言,兒女是上帝給的產業,要好好愛惜培養成為敬虔的後代!
