Resist arrogance, impatience, and ignorance.
- Comfort: Christ’s kingdom has no age minimum.
- Charge: Eagerly bring children to Christ.
2) Jesus Intercedes (v. 16-17)
Submit to Christ’s leadership of His Church.

Christocentric Conclusion: Jesus is the Shepherd who carries His lambs in His arms forever (cf. Psalm 28:9).
