How Jesus loves children! Read through the Gospels, and it becomes quickly obvious that Jesus loves children. Not only does Jesus spend time with children in and amongst the crowds that followed Him, but He often encouraged those who follow Him to do so "like a little child." Children are simple. Children are transparent. God LOVES these qualities of simplicity and transparency. When Jesus, the Messiah, was walking the earth, so many people missed seeing God in plain sight! T
