But Jesus made a children as a simple faith how to please a God, just believe as the children`s heart put their believe in their parents. So Jesus teach us to learn from the children

Jesus loved everyone. He loved the children because He knew that they were the future. The only way to Heaven is to love Jesus and they did love him.

Why didn`t the disciples want little children to come to Jesus? Why did Jesus allow the little children to come?
Jesus would not deny, He loves everyone, young and old, all ages. Jesus wants to put His hand on children to pray for them, bless them, heal them. Children are exposed to less sin in the earthly world than adults. Children are less tainted by worldly things and are more humble, innocent and eyes wide open to learn, especially teachings of the Lord.

Perhaps the disciples thought that the children are too young to understand Jesus` teachings. Jesus encouraged them to let the children approach him because the faith of a child is the purest of all and He regarded them as the greatest in the Kingdom of God.

Have you ever sat down and observe how children behave at a kids party for instance. They come to the party probably no knowing anyone but before you know it they have made so many friends.Adults however would probably come and leave without saying a word to the person sitting next to them.There is so much joy and harmony and innocence among the children .They can also get really noisy and loud too. This is the reaon why I think the disciples didn`t want them coming to Jesus because they thought that they would disturb and distract Jesus. However Jesus said to them, Allow the little children, and don`t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ONES LIKE THESE Note what he said ONES LIKE THESE He was not just refering to children but to people who live like children free of prejudices, innocent, interacting with one another regardless of colour, race or creed, regardless of how rich or how poor. The newest and most important commandment Jesus gave us is to LOVE ONE ANOTHER and I think a childs life portays that love. If we were to live our lives like that I think we would be well on our way to inheriting the kingdom of heaven. We need to use children as an example. That is what Jesus did!!!!

because children are very special people, and i guess that if the disciples were like children they won`t of behave in such a manner like that. Jesus is teaching us that if we look at children we can all be better people they are so humble, now the people think that the children are not as important as they are, so that is why Jesus said Allow the little children, and don`t forbid them to come to me.

the disciples didnt want the children to come to Jesus because they felt that He was too great to be bothered with little insignificant people like children-forgetting that Jesus came to serve great and small. Jesus allowed the children to come to demostrate that before His eyes, we are all equal.

The disciples thoght that kids will disrupt their master.But Jesus allowed them to draw closer to him because he was showing them how humbleness they should be and that`s why he told them that for thekingdom of heaven is theirs because of the gentleness of kids.This is related to humbleness since the bible rebukes the proud and gives g race to the humble.

Why didn`t the disciples want little children to come to Jesus? Why did Jesus allow the little children to come?
The disci[les didn`t want Children to come to Jesus because they neglected the Children and devalue them to come to Jesus. The children were counted not worth for the kingdom of God and giving them to Jesus was a breach of their law. The deciples could not understand that salvaltion is for all mankind including the children. Jesus allowed the children to come to Him because He came to serve all and He loves all. It might be that the Children at this point in time were at peace, reghtiousness and joy that Jesus said the kingdom belongs to them. Romans 14 Vs 17. Jesus wanted the parent to know that there faith has been uplifted by Him so that the deciples should learn to be obiedient to Him. We are all made in God`s image but we only became the children of God if we accept Jesus Christ as our lord and saviour. John 1 Vs 12

The Little Children and Jesus

Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and don't forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these." He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
