One day Jesus was teaching people. Some families came to Him with their babies and little children. They wanted Jesus to bless their children.

The disciples didn’t want the children to bother Jesus. They tried to send them away.

Jesus told His disciples to let the little children come to Him. He said that grown-ups need to have faith like little children to get to heaven.

Then Jesus took the children in His arms and blessed them.

Jesus loves children. He wants me to be kind to people everywhere.
