Matthew 19:13  Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. This small section gives us some insight into the disciple's hearts. Some parents in the crowd that followed Jesus brought their little children to Christ. They wished that Jesus would lay His hands on them and confer a blessing upon their lives. In bringing their children to Jesus these parents testified of the respect they had for Christ and knew that He was full of grace and blessing. This reminds us that when we are born again by the power of the gospel, we also should endeavor to glorify Christ by bringing our loved ones to Him. This means sharing the gospel of Christ with those whom we love and earnestly praying for the Spirit of God to do a mighty work in their hearts. Most children that were brought to Jesus were suffering some illness or affliction and grieving parents sought help from Christ. However, these children are physicall...

Matthew 19:1-2  And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;  2  And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. At this point in His earthly ministry, Jesus is gradually moving toward Jerusalem and ultimately, the cross of Calvary. He traveled into the territory known as Judaea, which history shows was governed by the kings of Judah who were King David's descendants.  Once again, very large crowds came to Jesus for help and He healed all people who were sick, afflicted or disabled in any way. Whenever Jesus ministered to the people, the power and glory of God with us (Emmanuel) was put on display. This created much anger and jealousy among self righteous Pharisees and scribes, and of course, they came to confront Jesus. Matthew 19:3  The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every...
