LEADING CHILDREN TO JESUS
A Blog by Rev. Grace Verrier
My husband and I often compare pulpit ministry after the a.m. service. The first question we ask each other is, “How many people came to know Jesus personally during the service?” He will tell me his number and I will tell him mine. Mine is always bigger. It is so easy to lead a child to Jesus. Children’s hearts are always open to God’s Spirit as He draws them. All that is necessary is that they fully understand the way of salvation. For example, after telling what Jesus did for them I ask them, “Who wants to ask Jesus to be the boss of their life?” Their response is always “I do.” Then I help them with a simple prayer like, “Dear God, thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross to take away the bad stuff in my life. I ask you Jesus to come into my heart and be my boss forever. Thank you that you do it right now and you will never go away. Amen”. I just wish leading adults to the Lord was as simple. Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
