I was in a restaurant recently,and I witnessed a little child being a bit stroppy,and this thought came to me, 'Every child has a will of it's own',no matter how young they are.',and that does not change as they grow older.Can a young child come to Christ,of course they can,age is no barrier to coming to Christ,be that person a child or a very old person .I read a story of a very elderly lady ,she may have been a 100,and she came to Christ.'She said to the minister, isn't it wonderful that a person of 100 can come to Christ,the minister replied yes,''but risky''The fact is the younger we come to Christ ,the better,for not only will our soul be saved,but our lives will be saved from so much that is evil. If Adolf Hitler had come as a child to Christ he would have been a better person than he turned out to be. I believe in Child evangelism with all my heart,because they need Christ just as much as any adult needs him. It is said that 18 percent of children in our churches identify becoming a Christian age 5,and 31percent between the ages of 5-14.In some chuches the minister speaks as if child do not need to be saved,but they do.As I was out walking and thinking about this a little chorus came to mind ,and I started to sing it gently to myself,here it is.
'Jesus died for little Children
All the children of the world,
Red and yellow ,black and white,
All our precious in His sight,
Jesus died for little children'
