It remains for us to consider the\r\nchildren whom Scripture points to; then to give the pædagogue charge\r\nof them. We are the children. In many ways Scripture celebrates us,\r\nand describes us in manifold figures of speech, giving variety to\r\nthe simplicity of the faith by diverse names. Accordingly, in the\r\ngospel, “the Lord, standing on the shore, says to the disciples”—they\r\nhappened to be fishing—“and called aloud, Children, have ye any\r\nmeat?”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_172\" id=\"FNanchor_172\">[172]</a>—addressing those that were already in the position\r\nof disciples as children. “And they brought to Him,” it is said,\r\n“children, that He might put His hands on them and bless them; and\r\nwhen His disciples hindered them, Jesus said, Suffer the children,\r\nand forbid them not to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of\r\nheaven.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_173\" id=\"FNanchor_173\">[173]</a> What the expression means, the Lord Himself shall\r\ndeclare, saying, “Except ye be converted, and become as little\r\nchildren, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven;”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_174\" id=\"FNanchor_174\">[174]</a> not in\r\nthat place speaking figuratively of regeneration, but setting before\r\nus, for our imitation, the simplicity that is in children.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER V.
