The Blessing of the Children: Scriptures and Purpose
Why did Jesus bless the children and why do churches often ask a blessing on children according to Jesus’ example?
Gifts of God
Why did Jesus bless the children and why do churches often ask a blessing on children according to Jesus’ example? First of all, we must acknowledge that children come from God. The little ones God blesses us with are a gift from Him. The Bible even says, “Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward” (Psalm 127:3). Children are not a privilege but a reward from God Himself. We should rejoice at the birth of children and grandchildren. These precious ones were brought into time and space; into existence, by God’s sovereign will and good pleasure. We should rejoice before God as such a great gift as a human being that’s come into the world and the parents receive from God, His reward.
