Yes, Jesus DID love the children..

I wonder how many of the Jewish temple types, who later manuevered for the crucifixion, would have called the child Jesus "illegitimate" because of the history of the Virgin birth?

Interesting, isn't it all?

They did! Not something we'd instantly recognize, but they eluded to it in one of the gospels when they attempted to challenge Him. Something to the effect of "We did not come from questionable birth." (loose paraphrase).
