How Children are Forbidden
Matthew 19:13-15
Then were there brought to him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.…


They may be "forbidden," both by neglect and injudicious teaching.

I. By not being taught of Christ through word and example.

II. By being taught legalism; that is, "Be good, or God will not love you," instead of this: Christ (God) loves you, therefore go to Him in order to be good.

(Schaff.)
