Mark 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:15

Verily I say, unto you
A form of speech used when our Lord was about to asseverate a thing, and assert something of moment and importance, and which he would have attended to.

Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God;
the Gospel, and the mysteries of it:

as a little child;
laying aside all pride and prejudice, attending thereunto with humility and meekness:

he shall not enter therein;
he shall attain to no true spiritual knowledge of the Gospel; nor should he be admitted into a Gospel church state, and to the ordinances of it.

15 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it.

16 And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

17 And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?
