Sometimes adults think that other adults do not have time for children, and sometimes that is the case, but with the Lord of Heaven and Earth, it was not the case,

Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19.13–14). 

The disciples still did not know fully who Jesus was, and for whom was His kingdom, although they thought they were doing the right thing. Without children, where would the world be? Without children, what would the future of the Kingdom of Heaven be, which is the church?
