We Should Love Protect All Children Poem by Terence George Craddock

What is sacred recorded in Matthew 19: 14
of the King James Version of the Bible?

Jesus said, ''Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come unto me: for of such is
the kingdom of heaven'' but what does this

mean? Jesus was addressing instructing his
disciples correcting them for rebuking
people who brought little children to him.

What did Jesus do for the little children?
Jesus laid hands upon them and blessed them
his invitation was let the children come

the invitation was let the little children be blessed
the meaning is precious little children were still
innocent pure we should love protect care for them

Jesus never said let little children
suffer starve die of starvation
only heaven offers paradise salvation

on earth even ''Jesus wept'' John 11: 35
Jesus displayed his human nature wept
in miracles blessings proved his love

his great passion for people Jesus came to save
Jesus grieved experienced sorrow felt the weight
of loss suffering to offer his love eternal salvation

in this world there is always crime suffering exploitation
greed evil ever justifies its own causes but a time comes
when those who choose beauty love receive their salvation
