Jesus Blesses Little Children

15 aThen they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.  
16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for aof such is the kingdom of God.  
17 aAssuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”  

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

18 aNow a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”  
19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but aOne, that is, God.

Luke 18:17

As a little child (wv paidion). Jesus makes the child the model for those who seek entrance into the kingdom of God, not the adult the model for the child. He does not say that the child is already in the kingdom without coming to him. Jesus has made the child's world by understanding the child and opening the door for him.
