In Mark 10:13-16, parents are bringing their children to Jesus to be blessed. But the disciples scolded them. Because the lack of societal regard for children during this time, the disciples assumed Jesus had more important things to do.
But this isn’t how Jesus treated the children. Jesus loves the children so much he wants all of us to approach him like a child. He wants us to be full of curiosity and questions, learning about him, and just wanting to be close to him. This is what it means to have a child-like faith and why Jesus gave great attention to the children brought to him.
