Why didn`t the disciples want little children to come to Jesus? Why did Jesus allow the little children to come?
Well, I think that the disciples didn`t know better than to rebuke the little children. And once Jesus saw what they were doing to them. He said wait a minute here boys. Do you realize that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to little children as well. For we are all children of God which is our heavenly Father.

I think the disciples thought the children were bothering Jesus...they wanted to keep them from getting in His way as HE ministered. But Jesus let them know that the children are of the Kingdom of God...He wanted to bless them too! Also I think Jesus was saying that Children symbolizes how a Child of God should be...as a little child to believe & trust Him.

Why didn`t the disciples want little children to come to Jesus? Why did Jesus allow the little children to come?
The disciples of Christ had different meaning for children in contrast to Christ`s.Therefore, for the disciples the children may symbolise unimporatnt members of the society based on their immaturity and playful nature contrary to Jesus Christ opinion thatthe kingdom of God belongs to ones like these.because of their innocence and sincerity. This goes a long way to explain the importance of the knowledge of God to the children to enable them understand the way of the Lord for eternal salvation is for the little ones too.

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.

I think Jesus was letting the dsciples know that anyone can come to him, little children, drug addicts ''sinners''. His father sent him here to teach the kingdom of God.

They felt that the little children didnt need Jesus. They wouldn`t understand who are what Jesus is here for.. Jesus allow them because as he said everyone is welcome to the Kingdom of heaven. Especially the ones with humility as little children

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.
