So, at church lately the boys have been hearing about God being our friend, and at home we've been talking about Easter, and the death and resurrection of Jesus. Apparently, Andrew is listening. Yesterday we had a play date with a friend of David's from school. At lunchtime, the conversation I heard was something like this:
Andrew: "Ryan, do you know who God is"
Ryan: "Yeah."
Andrew : "Who is He?"
Ryan: "That guy who lives in Heaven."
Andrew: "Right. Do you know He also died for our sins and rose from the dead on Easter?"
Ryan: "Yeah"
Andrew: "Okay, I just wanted to check."
My heart was smiling so much. I love it when my children challenge me spiritually. Andrew has no fear, and is not ashamed of the gospel. He has heard and amazing story, believes it, and wants to make sure his friends also know about it. How awesome! So should it be with us. Our God is so amazing, and has poured out such incredible love on us. Why would we not share it with a world hungry for love?
And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Romans 10:14
