Jesus Said "let the Children Come to Me" - What Was He Telling Us Michael Harvey Koplitz

Christian commentators tend to examine this passage to say that Jesus' disciples did not understand. When the passage is studied using Ancient Bible Study Methods the original meaning of the passage comes forward. The culture of parents towards their children was different in Jesus' times. To apply today's cultural standards to Jesus' time does not give us the original meaning of His words. The passage must be examined in the culture in which it was written. The book explains the culture toward children and why the disciples said "no," but Jesus said "yes."
