Jesus wanted to play with the children. The disciples didn’t like that and tried to make them go away. This didn’t sit well with Jesus at all. He said…

“...let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” - Mark 10:14-15, ESV.

Small children want to be close to a parent. They trust their mom and dad. They feel safest when they are around them. Those kids will believe whatever mom and dad say and will hang on every word. They are completely dependent upon their parents.

As they age, they increasingly desire more separation time. They get distracted with friends and things. They become more independent and eventually think themselves indestructible and completely self-reliant. They make mistakes because they are distant from mom and dad’s advice and protection.

It is no wonder that Jesus said we should have the faith of children. Think about that today. - Pastor Mike

BTW, if you open a camp to help kids with ADHD, is it a concentration camp?
