16 But Jesus called for them, saying , "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these . 17 "Truly I say to you, whoever e does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 18:16-17
Commentary on Luke 18:15-17
(Read Luke 18:15-17)
None are too little, too young, to be brought to Christ, who knows how to show kindness to those not capable of doing service to him. It is the mind of Christ, that little children should be brought to him. The promise is to us, and to our seed; therefore He will bid them welcome to him with us. And we must receive his kingdom as children, not by purchase, and must call it our Father's gift.
