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

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

Little children & Jesus
The disciples didn`t want the children anywhere near Jesus because they had not understood fully what the true mission of this great visitor was.they found the children anuisance especially when it came to serious adults business.They felt that children were more subject to them than any other person especially regarding good manners and interaction.Also matters to do with the kingdom ''earthly'' had everything to do with the adults, therefore, they were also yet to understand the true kingdom that Jesus was for.

How does hardness of heart lead to divorce? How does one avoid having a hard heart?
Let me first of all say that heavenly mathematics is one plus one the answer is one and earthly calculation is one plus one the answer is two. In mariage, the female and male shall come together and become one body. The hardness of heart lead to devorce because of not understanding the will of God in marriage . The hardness of heart lead to sin and wrong decision in oder to please one another by law. This is also from birth sin which lead us into aquired sin. We can avoid hard heart by believing in Jesus who can make our heart soft by meditating to Him for anything we need. By avoiding devorce and follow the commandments of our lord Jesus are set free.

Before the disciples were lacked of knowledge about child`s nature, they never thought the importance of childhood, but GOD explained to them the character of the child and the character helped them understand the true nature of the children of GOD.

Why didn`t the disciples want little children to come to Jesus? Why did Jesus allow the little children to come?
Disciples considered children were not qualified to come to God, they are too young to know the truth. But Jesus allow the little children to come and he said the kindom of God belongs to the ones like children. This indicates that God love the people with pure heart and God gives heaven to people with pure heart. Because children are too young to learn sinful things. They are pure.

The disciples didn`t want little children to come to Jesus because they were thinking in a worldly manner. They felt that children would disturb Jesus and He would not like it. But Jesus used this example of children to show what kind of people are needed in the Kingdom of God.

The Jewish culture does not allow the little children to be around adults frequently and the disciples thought that Jesus is kind of happy to stay away from noises made by children around him.

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.
