{As a little child} (h(9373) paidion). How does a little
child receive the kingdom of God? The little child learns to obey
its parents simply and uncomplainingly. There are some new
psychologists who argue against teaching obedience to children.
The results have not been inspiring. Jesus here presents the
little child with trusting and simple and loving obedience as the
model for adults in coming into the kingdom. Jesus does not here
say that children are in the kingdom of God because they are
children.
