In the van tonight on the way home, I was doing our regular Bible questions with the kids. You know, I ask them a Bible question like “Who built the ark?” and they give the answer. (For the whole performance, click here.) Anyway, I started with the Old Testament questions and worked my way toward the New Testament in good linear fashion.
I asked, “Who walked on the water?”
Both kids yelled, “JESUS!!!”
“Who died on the cross?”
“JESUS!!!”
“Who was the Son of God?”
“JESUS!!!”
At this point Joshua asked me, “Daddy, is it all about Jesus?”
“Yeah, pretty much, son.”
“Oh. I thought it was all about Noah.” Then, to no one in particular, he said softly, “It’s all about Jesus.”
You can’t make this stuff up…
he’s said what it takes some of us a lifetime to say.
He asked me again yesterday, “Is everything about Jesus?” I only wish he knew how right he was.
