Day 17: Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me

Start using your Christmas Countdown Book on December 1st. Today would be presented on December 17th. There will be a different subject for each day until Christmas Day, December 25th. The purpose of this Christmas Countdown Book is to help you remember and focus on Jesus Christ during the Christmas season!

Picture

Christ and the Children (Christ with the Children)

Scripture

Luke 18:15-17

5 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Song

I Think When I Read that Sweet Story, Children’s Songbook 56

1. I think when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How he called little children like lambs to his fold;
I should like to have been with him then.
2. I wish that his hands had been placed on my head,
That his arms had been thrown around me,
That I might have seen his kind look when he said,
“Let the little ones come unto me.”

Ornament

To personalize the story for my kids, I took a clear globe ornament and put their name on it with foil stickers. I got the inspiration from pizzazzerie.
