When CHILDREN ask about JESUS CHRIST.
Q : When Children ask about Jesus Christ, how should it be dealt with?
A: In Love and Truth and Only IN Love and Truth.
For example:
-- Parents and Childrens conversation --
Children: Who is Jesus Christ?
Parents: Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World.
Children: What's a Savior?
Parents: A Deliverer.
Children: What's a Deliverer?
Parents: Lets take the best example in the World, Jesus Himself. A Long ,Long Time Ago..... Jesus did many good things for people..(explaining the miracles) ... a while later..... Then they beat Jesus, nailed Him to the Cross... .... He Painfully hanged there and Suffered for Many Hours. then died..... 3 days Later... He Arose!
Children: He Arose!?... What does that mean?
Parent: Well.... (explaining the resurrection to the children). Matthew 27. & 1 Corinthians 15:1 through 8. THEN, 3 days later... He Rose from the Dead. He died for our sins. He will be back one day to take All Christians to Heaven.
Children: He died for our sins, How?
Parents: Well, When the Roman Soldiers beat Jesus from Head to Toe.... , Every drop of blood that fell..... meat ... that it was shed for us. (our sins) So when we come to Jesus in our lives here on earth, our sins are washed away.
now at this point, the child may ask .....
Children: Heaven... What's Heaven...?
Parent: Awe... Heaven is Such a Beautiful Place, There is So Much Peace and Happiness there, Laughter, no Pain and Suffering any more...no bee stings, no skinned knees, no colds, No Pain at all........ And.... Seeing your family that Had a Relationship WITH Jesus, those SAME family that went to BE with Jesus when They died, aunts,uncles,moms,dads,sisters,brothers..... and being there not only with them, but with Jesus forever and ever... The One Who died for them, Their Deliverer.
Children: Do you mean the people that died , like, Uncle Joe? He was a Preacher.
Parent: Yes!.... Just like Uncle Joe.
Children: How do I get saved?
Parents: Well sweeties... you must believe that Jesus Christ Died for your sins and Rose from the Dead. that He is able to Save you from Hell, (explain Hell to them).
Children: Wooooooooow.........
Parents: Now... Little Ones.... For Jesus to Save you, you Must Believe... and Say this simple Prayer... But don't forget... you got to say it SERIOUS.
Children: Ok.
Parents: now say this with me Children ( only if they are ready). Dear Lord, I know you died for my sins and rose from the dead, Please forgive me of ALL of my sins ( bad things ) that I've done in my life, and come into my heart and save my soul, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Children: Is that it?
Parents: Yep, that's it.
Now Continuing.......
.......Knowing Jesus as ones Saviour, doesn't give a Christian the right to act all high and mighty... nor does it mean that one is better then the other. It means, that you Belong to Christ, and you are to do good, walk the correct-clean and righteous path of Jehovah God, and always: walk away from evil, when others push you and hurt you and make your feel aweful on different subjects or discussions, what you do is.... ask Jesus to forgive you for anything you may have said,against them, thought or did to them, that wold make Jesus disapointed. ...then : pray for them, [/color][/size]
Now, Parents.... You Must keep up on being a good role model for the Children... you MUST read them bible Daily.... get them into Jesus.
God Bless you all.... GM
