But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke 18: 15-17
"Jesus wants us to have children faith because they are submissive,
meek, humble, patient, and full of love? Mosiah 3:19. We need to remember that
our own intellect and understanding cannot help us – in fact, our own
perception of the world can lead us away from God".
In Matthew 11:25, Jesus says, “I praise you, Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and
learned, and revealed them to little children.” The Bible praises those who
have the faith and the understanding of little children.
In other words, Jesus is not calling people to believe things
without asking questions. He is calling people to have a certain kind of
attitude. We would be more accurate if we said we needed to have ‘humility
like a little child.’ The difference between the questions my son asks
and the questions my high school seniors asked was attitude. The
questions themselves were, most of the time, equally difficult
I think what Jesus meant with this passage is that we have to be
free from the judgments and assumptions that social conditioning creates around us apart from children.
let us be like children are more free from these conditions since they have had less experience with the things that enforce those conditions.

it is true that children are humble in the fact that they are completely open to
more information to increase their understanding of all things:
Why Jesus was not satisfied with adult?
Why Jesus was not satisfied with adult?
- We think we have all of the answers as to who we are and what God wants.
- we are not open and we are bound and defined by our our mind;
- The problem with many grown-ups is that they know too much
What is the good thing about children philosophy?
- Dependence therefore their have in their minds that they can not face life by themselves Nehemiah 8:10 they place their dependence on God
- There is the child’s trust, and they never doubt about their life; Hence it pays to be a little child. In fact, Jesus Himself said, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." (Mk.10:14)
- Little children are loving, sweet, simple believers.
according to Jesus it is given to children to be rich in
faith! Faith just comes natural to them. They are so fresh from Heavenly places
that they have faith to believe anything God says, and with them nothing is
impossible!
When someone has the faith of a child they know they need to be
rescued. They know they can’t rescue themselves. Always children knew that God
had to be the one to touch him.
