Do we know that whatever you teach children they will never forget?, that is why the Bible say
Teach your child in the way of the Lord, when he grows up, he will not depart from it
There is a saying which says
A stubborn child becomes a stupid adult
That is why Jesus want them closer ,so that they can know the truth from childhood
Amen! Thank you for such a rich comment!
God bless!
