08 09 Luke 18.15-30 Our passage reminds us of how important it is to bring children to Jesus. We should do all we can to welcome it and not hinder it. Jesus encouraged children to come to Him because the kingdom of God is made up of those who are like children in their faith. We must come with total trust and dependence on the finished work of Christ and by faith receive that gift. There is nothing we can do to earn eternal life as illustrated in the second section of this passage. A rich ruler came asking Jesus what he must “do” to inherit eternal life. There is nothing we can do but believe. What we need has already been done for us on the cross. Praise the Lord for the finished work of Calvary.
