One of the highlights of any week is having the privilege of spending Skype time with our two little grandchildren, not quite face time, as the two toddlers are racing (or crawling) around, usually from room to room. But it is fun and SO special to us.
If we get the opportunity to talk to them on Sunday afternoons, I always ask two year old Maggie about what Bible story she heard in Sunday School that day. She can usually remember with great clarity. Yesterday, the things she remembered were profound. “It was about a little boy,” she said. “He was dead. But Jesus came and made him all better from his deadness.” She almost immediately followed it up with a rendition of Joy to the World, a song that to her transcends any season.
And I realized that in her two-year-oldness she had quite adequately summarized the Gospel: Jesus came. And He makes us better from our deadness.
I came
that they may have life,
and have it abundantly.
John 10.10
