Back into Mark 10

Jesus directs these words to the disciples who
continue to miss Jesus’ point. Little children are the model of how people enter the kingdom. God
bestows his kingdom upon the low, the helpless, those who can do nothing to gain entrance.
Entrance into the kingdom of God is not something which can be earned, or gained on the basis of human merit. As one commentator so aptly puts it, to receive the Kingdom is to allow oneself to be given it. ==Kim Riddlebarger
