Mark 10:13-16 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.… What if God should place in your hand a diamond, and tell you to inscribe on it a sentence which should be read at the last day, and shown there as an index of your thoughts and feelings! What care, what caution, would you exercise in the selection! Now this is what God has done. He has placed before you immortal minds, more imperishable than the diamond, on which you are about to inscribe every day and every hoar, by your instructions, by your spirit, or by your example, something which will remain and be exhibited for or against you at the judgment day. (Dr. Payson.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. |
