The work of evangelism is inspired by the message that it bears. Evangelism is the act of spreading the message of the gospel or religious beliefs to others. The motivation behind evangelism comes from the belief in the power and importance of the message being shared. It is the message itself that drives individuals or the church to engage in evangelistic efforts, as they see it as a crucial message that needs to be shared with others. The need of people, the church, and the pastor may all play a role in evangelism, but ultimately it is the message that serves as the primary inspiration.Rate this question:

What were the attitudes of the disciples in these scriptures? Mark 10:13-16 (See also Matthew 19:13-15; Luke 9:37-42; 18:15-17)Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” 16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.
Correct Answer
They seemed to have a low regard for small children. They seemed to think that bringing adults to the Lord is more important than children. Perhaps the reason for this is that they were interested on sitting on thrones and children are not of the voting age necessary to put them on these thrones. They were not interested in ministering to people who could not give them a lot in return.Explanation
The disciples in these scriptures seemed to have a low regard for small children and prioritized bringing adults to the Lord over children. This could be because they were interested in sitting on thrones, and since children are not of voting age, they may have believed that ministering to them would not benefit their own ambitions. They were more interested in ministering to people who could give them something in return.Rate this question:
