Matthew 19:14
Suffer little children. Do not hinder them, either by word, or by
a bad example.
To come unto me. Whatever mortal, young or old, wishes to come to
Christ should be encouraged.
For of such is the kingdom of heaven. Those who have the loving
simplicity, humility, and trust of children. See Matthew 18:1-14. These
words show, (1) that children are not, as some have taught, totally
depraved; (2) that the earlier they come to Christ the better; (3) that
they should not be hindered from coming by injudicious teaching; (4)
that parents should bring them to the Savior.
