Matthew 21

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant. Matthew 21:15 (ESV)
What a contrast! The children shouting with joy, the priests and scribes resentful. Throughout the book of Matthew I've noticed that children pop up on many occasions. In fact the various forms of the English word "child" is found 36 times in the ESV--more than any other NT book. Jesus liked children. He liked their innocence and joy. Perhaps I should become like a child. Sounds kinda Scriptural doesn't it? SWC
