luke 18:15-17People  were  also  bringing  babies  to  Jesus  to  have  him  touch  them.  

When  the  disciples  saw  this,  they  rebuked  them.  But  Jesus  called  the  children  to  him  and  said,  

"Let  the  little  children  come  to  me,  and  do  not  hinder  them,  for  the  kingdom  of  God  belongs  to  such  as  these.  I  tell  you  the  truth,  anyone  who  will  not  receive  the  kingdom  of  God  

like  a  little  child  will  never  enter  it."

matthew 21:15-16But  when  the  chief  priests  and  the  teachers  of  the  law  saw  the  wonderful  things  he  did  and  the  children  shouting  in  the  temple  area,  "Hosanna  to  the  Son  of  David,"  they  were  indignant."Do  you  hear  what  these  children  are  saying?"  they  asked  him.

"Yes,"  replied  Jesus,  "have  you  never  read,"  'From  the  lips  of  children  and  infants  you  have  ordained  praise'?"

matthew 18:1-6At  that  time  the  disciples  came  to  Jesus  and  asked,  "Who  is  the  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven?"  He  called  a  little  child  and  had  him  stand  among  them.  And  he  said:  "I  tell  you  the  truth,  unless  you  change  and  become  like  little  children,  you  will  never  enter  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  Therefore,  whoever  humbles  himself  like  this  child  is  the  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven.”  

matthew 18:1-6

“And  whoever  welcomes  a  little  child  like  this  in  my  name  welcomes  me.  But  if  anyone  causes  one  of  these  little  ones  who  believe  in  me  to  sin,  it  would  be  better  for  him  to  have  a  large  millstone  hung  around  his  neck  and  to  be  drowned  in  the  depths  of  the  sea.”

romans 8:15-17For  you  did  not  receive  a  spirit  that  makes  you  a  slave  again  to  fear,  but  you  received  the  Spirit  of  sonship.  And  by  him  we  cry,  "Abba,  Father."  The  Spirit  himself  testiNies  with  our  spirit  that  we  are  God's  children.  Now  if  we  are  children,  then  we  are  heirs—heirs  of  God  and  co-­‐heirs  with  Christ,  if  indeed  we  share  in  his  sufferings  in  order  that  we  may  also  share  in  his  glory.
