The Character of Jesus - AFFECTIONATE

Read Mark 10:13-16.

"And He took them in Hi arms and began blessing them, laying His hands upon them." (v. 16)

Jesus took the children into His arms and touched them. He blessed them by touching them. He demonstrated His love for them in a physical way.

I need to NOT be afraid to be physically affectionate with people. This is a wonderful way to demonstrate my love for them. I must even turn away from the tide of public opinion to do this. I can bless people by my touch.
