Jesus and the Children

In Year 1 we have been reading a story from the Bible called 'Jesus and the Children'. In this story, some people wanted to take their children to see Jesus and get a blessing from him. Jesus was standing with his disciples. When the people  reached Jesus, the disciples sent them away and said that Jesus was too busy to see them. But Jesus saw what was happening and he was very upset with his disciples for wanting to send the children away. “Let the children come to me,” he said, “and don’t stop them! Because God’s kingdom belongs to people who are just like them.”  Jesus welcomed and blessed the children.
