The death of children is not what any parent can’t accept. It is not an easy thing for someone to just accept it like that that he or she could just wake up to discover that his or her child is no more. We might console ourselves based on the word of God but the pains are not what we can bear. Imagine the love of the father or that of the mother! For the sake of children, many marriages have been scattered. Some many people have gone through a lot just to get the blessing of the womb. How then can it be so easy for someone to accept the news of his or her child’s death so easily?
Talking about children and the kingdom of God, we do know that Jesus Christ has said that the kingdom of God belongs unto the children. We have heard some teachings that assure us that children will make it to the kingdom of God because they are innocent. We are not judges, God is. But maybe children have that clean pass to enter the kingdom of God because their minds and their hearts are cleaned. Innocence is a state of being guiltless. We do know that children are not easily offended. They do not keep any score of wrongs. So, the state of mind of that of a child is the state that we can be to access the kingdom of God.
Losing a child is not palatable but we can take solace in the fact that our children are saved in the bosom of God.
