Jesus' invitation to let the little children come to Him speaks of His deep love and acceptance for all, especially the most vulnerable. Children, in their innocence and purity, represent a model of humility and trust. Jesus’ words remind us that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these, and we are all called to approach Him with the same openness and humility. No barriers, no qualifications—just the simple trust that a child has. Jesus’ love for children exemplifies His unconditional love for all, encouraging us to embrace the little ones in our lives with open arms, just as He does. By showing love and acceptance to children, we reflect the heart of Jesus and honor His command to welcome them.
