This emotion underscores the importance He places on children and their access to Him. It also reflects His broader mission of inclusivity and love, challenging societal norms that often marginalized the vulnerable.and told them Jesus directly addresses His disciples, emphasizing His role as a teacher and leader. His words are authoritative, correcting their misunderstanding of His mission and the nature of the Kingdom of God.“Let the little children come to Me Jesus invites the children, symbolizing openness and acceptance. In the cultural context, children were often seen as insignificant, yet Jesus elevates their status, illustrating the value of humility and dependence in the Kingdom of God.and do not hinder them! This command reinforces the importance of removing barriers to coming to Jesus. It serves as a broader principle for the Church to facilitate, not obstruct, access to Christ. Theologically, it speaks to the grace and accessibility of the Gospel.For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Jesus uses children as a metaphor for the qualities necessary to enter the Kingdom of God: humility, trust, and dependence. This statement connects to other teachings of Jesus, such as in <a href="/matthew/18-3.htm">Matthew 18:3</a>, where He emphasizes becoming like children to enter the Kingdom.

The Greek shows that there was no interval between the acts of the parents and the disciples, and our Lord's seeing it. The parents were bringing the children, the disciples were rebuking them, Jesus was perceiving. He was much displeased (ἠγανάκτησε); literally, he was moved with indignation. His words imply eagerness and earnestness: Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not. The copulative καὶ is not to be found in the best authorities. The omission adds force and vividness to the words. The simplicity, candour, and innocence of little children are very attractive. This narrative shows with what care children should be educated. For of such is the kingdom of God; that is, of such little children as these. The kingdom of heaven belongs in a peculiar manner to little children. We know for certain that little children who have been brought to Christ in Holy Baptism, if they die before they are old enough for moral accountableness, are undoubtedly saved.
