Matthew 19:13-15

Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away.

Mark 10:13-16

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

Question: Why must we tell the next generation about the Lord?

Answer: Because God commands us to declare His mighty works so they might set their hope in Him and not forget His Word.

Psalm 78:4
“…we will tell the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.”

Family idea: Let each child share one story about God’s goodness—then thank Him together!
