"The Savior loves little children. In a brief but poignant scene, when His disciples were inclined to keep the children away, the Savior lovingly replied, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God” (Luke 18:16). Watch how the Savior beckoned the children to Him.
The Savior’s message to each of us, young or old, is clear. He taught, “Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein” (Luke 18:17). We must become as little children to inherit the kingdom of God. But what does that mean?" ~ Come Unto Christ
"Jesus' teachings referring to little children ( paidíon) and infants/babies appear in several places in the New Testament and in the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas." ~ Wikipedia [Link below]
