This week I was driving my oldest two boys, James (7 years old and Nolan 5 years old)to school. During our ride we practiced our memory verse, talked about how to act in school, and then had a small dose of theology.
Me: Nolan, what do you know about Jesus?
Nolan: Nothing
Me: Is Jesus God's son?
Nolan: (a mischievous grin crossed his face) Maybe!
Me: Did Jesus die on a cross?
Nolan: Maybe!
Me: Did Jesus rise from the dead?
Nolan: Maybe
(clearly it was time to move on)
Me: James, tell me something about Jesus.
James: Well, he was with God at the beginning, and he helped to create Earth and the universe. Then he created cars.
Me: Cars? He created cars?
James: He created people, and then he created all of the stuff that goes into cars. Then he made people put them together.
Me: Do you know anything else about Jesus?
James: He died on a cross and then...
Nolan: (interrupting excitedly) HE RAISED FROM THE DEAD!
Me: Ok, Nolan, what else do you know about Jesus?
Nolan: Nothing
James: It was my turn Dad...Well, he died on a cross, and then one of his servants came and carried him to a tomb. He wrapped him up so he would not stink. Dead people stink, Dad! The 3 days later he rose from the dead. Now he is alive in heaven with God...oh, yea, and in my heart!
