Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” (Luke 18:15-17 ESV)
We grow up much too quickly. It seems kids these days grow up faster and faster, sooner and sooner, and almost miss their childhood - with its dependence, its trust, its honest observation and its hope. We lose all those things, or hide them beneath thick skin and hard hearts, so faith seems so unreal. The Kingdom of God is not pomp and "adult" stuff. It is rated "G" for good. It is clearly seeing and believing the truth about Who Jesus is and trusting Him completely.
