Jesus and accessibility

Mark 10:13-16. Jesus disciples are sending away/protecting Jesus from children when Jesus discovers it and invites them over. As I spent time with this passage, I have come to wonder about how often we try to limit access to Jesus to others. Who have I decided, have other Christians decided, in a variety of ways are undeserving of Jesus time? The disciples thought they knew who ought to get in and who ought not to get in and Jesus upsets that plan… What is the Jesus-plan for who has access to him and what makes us think we get to override whatever appears to his plan? Just some early/intermediate thoughts on the Bible passage for this week…
