This morning on the way home from church, the kids were talking about the Heroes Unmasked series that they are doing in children’s ministries. The preschoolers are doing the same hero each week as the elementary schoolers, so Big E was telling Little E that they are leading up to the ultimate hero - Jesus (on Easter).
Big E said, “Yeah, if Jesus didn’t save us, and die for our sins, then we wouldn’t get to go to heaven and be with God.”
Big D said, “Well, we would; we would just have to sacrifice an animal every time we did something bad.” (He reads a lot of Old Testament.) “And not just any animals, our good animals, like sheep. We would have to get them all clean and nice looking, then sacrifice them with our own hands - yuck!”
I never really thought about it that way.
