Children....

How do we view little children? An annoyance? Better seen but not heard?

In Luke 18:16-17, we see Jesus' perspective on them. 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. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." NIV

First of all, we see that Jesus called to the children. He wanted them near Him. He then warns those listening that the truth is so simple to them, and we aren't to do anything to hinder it for them. In fact, Jesus points out, their faith is an example to us. A child is willing to receive the kingdom of God. They don't complicate it with reasoning and logic, they accept. We need to follow in suit.
