Blessing of the Children



I love the comtemporary setting of a one room school.  

How would we present this verse in today's culture?  I wish I could draw.   It would be fun to try. 

In the gospel of Mark there is an episode where women bring their children to Jesus to have them blessed. Jesus' followers stop them, but Jesus then says that one should receive the Kingdom of God the way a child would if one wants to enter it.


This work is linked to Mark 10:14
