This is one of the most well-known incidents in Jesus' life. The people were bringing little children to Jesus to be blessed, but the disciples tried to stop them. We need to beware of trying to stop Jesus blessing people, something the church has been all to good at sometimes.
The kingdom of God is not complicated. The simple fact is that God loves us and if only we will come to Him with a simple openness and willingness to trust and receive, then we will discover the depths and truth of this. But when we complicate things, when we try to exalt our own importance we exclude ourselves from the kingdom.
