As I was reading and discussing the Easter story with the Grade 3 students, they were horrified by the pain and humiliation Jesus suffered for us before and at the cross. I could tell their 8 and 9 year old minds were trying to fathom such a great love Jesus had for us in suffering and dying on the cross. They were amazed that Jesus could have called 10,000 angels. Maybe the number just seemed so big to them! After discussing the part of the story where the women went to the tomb, only to find Jesus gone, one boy suddenly realized an awesome truth. He said, "So the devil wanted to kill Jesus and take over the world, but Jesus really won, right?"
Hallelujah! The deep things are revealed to even the childlike minds. They were all excited to think about how the devil lost and Jesus won! Then they had a lot of questions about Heaven and why there will not be boys and girls. Let us, as adults this season, take time to ponder the deeper things and the great price with which the blood of Jesus purchased us!
May the Lord bless you and your family in abundant ways as we celebrate His resurrection!
