Commentary

 

Child

  
by Jenny Stein

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.

Commentary

 

Net

  

'To cast the net on the right side,' as in John 21:6, signifies teaching the good of life.
