Matthew 18:3
And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19: 13-14
Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Mark 9:37
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”
Mark 10:13-15
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Luke 18:15-16
People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
Sometimes it’s just good to lean back into the warm, loving arms of Jesus. He’s a good dad. Thanks for your post.

Jesus Christ ,our lord is always there for us, and we have to worship him with our Hearts. He is the best Father we can have.
What’s so amazing and powerful about this is how Jesus backed up what He said about children with what He did with children. He invested. He took time. He cared. Brilliant.

This applies to children with autism ADHD and all those other ‘disorders’ that make them so frustrating to us adults sometimes. Is the ‘disorder’ with them or us?
if jehovah and jesus are one and the same, why did jehovah command the slaughter of babies while jesus loved them? just wondering.
Gary,
Jehovah was a Tribal God. The Israelites were a tribe meant to survive for the fulfilment of a greater message. Christ was the incarnation of God, Jehovah is simply a name given by the Israelites to describe their God.
The Trinity is hard to comprehend, but the Tribal father was able to take away the blood stains of his people and all of mankind only through the sacrifice of his own son.
Fundamentalist adherence to the bible is never logical, and perhaps should be avoided, as it leads to abuse of a faith from both direction, The Bible is a story of faith. and a Story to teach faith.
As for what God might do, it is not for the created to question the creator. Christ loved children because they understood this. Most adult Israelites and Gentiles did not.
children love without constraint, they love unconditionally.
As long as they are given the opportunity to do so.
Christ was merely asserting that a new era of understanding should begin, do not keep the children away from God. for their understanding springs from the innocence God once had from his creation but lost. This new era would allow for atonement for that lost of innocence, if only one has faith and adopts the purity of the child mind.
Is this all Jesus said about children? There are people who beat their children in his name, and I wondered where they were getting the idea that it’s okay to do this.
Yes this is all Jesus said about children! People who beat their children get that idea from the Devil Himself and will be judged by Jesus Christ in the last day. God is a loving Father and expects us to treat children with that same love and respect He shows toward us.
