Understanding Why Jesus Came for Children

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day Bible study on children and the incredible reason Jesus came to earth. From the earliest days of His ministry, Jesus showed a special love and care for children, teaching us that they hold a precious place in God’s kingdom. In these studies, we will reflect on God’s heart toward children, understand how Jesus demonstrated this love, and uncover the profound purpose of His coming—to bring salvation and hope to everyone, including the smallest and most vulnerable among us.

It's easy to think that Jesus’ ministry was primarily for adults or that children were peripheral to His mission. However, the Gospels tell a different story—one where children were welcomed, blessed, and used as examples of faith and humility. The theme "Why Jesus Came to Earth" reminds us that His mission was inclusive and transformative, inviting us to view children through God’s eyes as essential members of His family.

Throughout this study, you’ll be encouraged to deepen your understanding of God's love, protection, and purpose for children. Each day focuses on a scriptural passage revealing aspects of Jesus’ interaction with children and His ultimate purpose for coming into the world. As you journey through these devotionals, reflect on your own heart and the role children play in your life and faith community. Let this study inspire you to see children more clearly as treasured souls whom Jesus delights to save and nurture. May it also lead you to a stronger appreciation of Christ’s mission as one of radical love and redemption, extended to all ages and backgrounds.

Jesus came to bring light, life, and salvation—and children are at the heart of His kingdom. Let’s begin this journey with open hearts, ready to encounter the Savior who loves all people, especially the children.
