Jesus in a Rocking Chair

We recently inherited two rocking chairs. One is a big sturdy oak chair with a deep seat, wide arms and well worn. The chair, which belonged to Bill’s grandma, rocked children and grandchildren many a mile. The other chair, which belonged to his step-grandmother, is knitting chair about a third the size, low to the ground, has no arms and appears to be in pristine condition with little, or no use. This little one seater chair could hardly accommodate a plump grandma, much less a grandma and grandchild. Of course there is no Bible account of Jesus in a rocking chair, but if there were I know which chair we would find the Lord sitting in. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matt 19:14 NIV).
