Child
A child is a young boy or girl in the care of parents, older than a suckling or an infant, but not yet an adolescent. "Children" are sometimes used as a name for a large group of descendants of one person, such as the Children of Israel, or even all human beings as the Children of Men. A child represents innocence and charity, where innocence is the willingness to be led, and charity is love. This is why Jesus blessed them and suggested that we all become like children in order to enter heaven.
Matthew 23:16-22
16
"Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
17
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18
'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
19
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living in it.
22
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
