Why didn`t the disciples want little children to come to Jesus? Why did Jesus allow the little children to come?

I think the disciples always had it wrong, because they did not quite comprehend fully the person , character and mission of Jesus. This is not the only incident when Jesus and his disciples were clashing. I also think the disciples at this time were not spirit filled, rather, they were filled with themselves, always opting to decide for Jesus, and filled with selfish ego. If this is not the case, then perhaps they thought Jesus was so tired, and needed rest from any further disturbance. Finally, Jesus allowed the little children to come to him, because he wanted to teach one of the biggest leasons, that the kingdom of heaven is for such as children. he said later: unless you are like little children, you can not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?

Body and Mind both contribute towards a particular sin and they both deserve penalty.

Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?

Jesus` penalty for bearing the sins of the world was a spiritual seperation from God, and this was confirmed by his prayer: Why have you forsaken me, my Father. Jesus indeed suffered physical punishment, as well as emotional punishment, in fulfiment of the prophesies that he should suffer, be striped, blood to gush out, die like a criminal, die with criminals, suffer human rejection, etc as a way to the cross, and ultimate victory. Emotionally, the people who tortured and crucified Jesus did not know what they were doing, that`s why he forgave them. Finally, a lost world might not have realised the pain of spiritual seperation, so the physical, and emotional torture, would speak to them more, and open their minds and hearts in the end. In Psalms 103, it says: By his stripes we were healed, redeemed, atoned for by his blood, so I personally believe all these pains he went through were in God`s perfect plan, as prophesied by prophets of old.
