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.

The disciple probably felt Jesus was too busy and important to waste time with little children.the felt the children would be a distraction and nuisance. But Jesus let them know that little children are very important in the kingdom.This is so, because little children easily accept what they are told, exhibit so much innocence, love and obedience.And these are all qualities man must exhibit to be able to accept Jesus as Lord and saviour.

The disciples thought children would bother Jesus and they most likely believed that children were not that important to the life of Jesus and by allowing the little children to come, Jesus showed all of us how important we are all to Him.

1''-Generally, they thought and discovered that is of no use letting children in for such matter is ONLY for adult. Permit me to seize this opportunity to warn the so called parents who feel so relutant to perfom the duty assigned to them. Those who left their children at home going to church or leaving their children with their house maid to come to church with their children. PLS, such acts is not good for you MUST give account of how you showed your children the way of the Lord for - proverb 22;6 said train up a child in a way he should go that evenif he is old will not depart from it .The bible did not say house maid or you will act like the disciples of Christ preventing children to attain before the Lord. 2''- Physcalogically, they''children'' are spotless. If you want to enter into the kingdom of God you MUST be spotless, according to JESUS illustrution.

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.
