Description
This stained glass window is in the First Baptist Church in Emmett, Idaho. It is reported that they were made in Italy. Since 1963 the windows have been lighted from the inside every evening. It also been reported that a rock was thrown threw one of them and it had to be repaired and a protection barrier has been added. The church almost lost them a year when the church was set on fire but the window also survived. It took over a year and a million dollars to repair the church.
This one is called "Jesus And Children"
Some people were bring their small children to Jesus. They wanted Jesus to touch the children. But His followers told the people to go away. When Jesus saw this, it made Him unhappy. He said to His followers, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them. God's kingdom belongs to people who are like these little children."
Then He said, "You must accept God's kingdom as a child accepts things. If you don't you will never get in." Then Jesus took the children in His arms. He put His hands on them and blessed them. Jesus loves children.

Wow! Robert, this is so beautiful! Jesus reminds us of the importance of accepting the Kingdom of God with childlike faith and humbleness. F/V/FB/Tweet
