Mt. 19:13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
Mk. 10:13 Then they brought young children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Lk. 18:15 Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when His disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Mt. 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.”
Mk. 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.”
Lk. 18:16 But when Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.”
Mk. 10:15 “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
Lk. 18:17 “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
There have been many sermons preached that said we must become as little children in order to come to God. For the average person this means we must have the faith of a little child. No one is more rusting as a little child. Others believe that you have to be as loving as a little child because no one love unconditionally as a child. These verses do not mean that all. Because they believe they were pure the Rabbis said, “Let those who are pure first study the things that have to do with purity.” For Yeshua kingdom were those who were ruled by God. Kingdom was now, in the present. It was composed by those who were ruled by God and further, were demonstrating His rule in their lives by action. When you understand what Yeshua’s idea of kingdom was then you can began to see a real dramatic of what He was saying. He was actually saying, “Let the pure come unto Me, because only the pure are going to make up My movement.”
Mt. 19:15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
Mk. 10:16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.
