Chew On?

Our pastor is preaching through the book of Mark in our morning services. This Sunday, he preached on Mark 10: 13-16 which says:

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

At one point in his sermon, Pastor Eric said, "Jesus was holding babies in His arms. That's something you can chew on."

Nathan looked at me and said "Chew on? Chew on babies?"
