Do Not Hinder Them

Message Notes

At First Church Stratford, we believe in Three Great Loves: love of neighbor, love of children and love of creation. Of these three loves, perhaps the hardest to maintain during the COVID-19 pandemic has been love of children.

13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.

14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

Matthew 19:13-15
