Blessed are the little children

So I don't have a huge Sunday School class at SBC...in fact it usually consists of two children. Ade, a very smart 9 year old boy, and Caro, an equally smart 10 year old girl. Normally there are two teachers that do the lesson but this past weekend I was on my own with these two geniuses. We don't really follow a curriculum so we can focus on whatever we feel the kids need. I decided to be very original and discuss the Easter story :) I explained to them that I wanted to make sure that really understood why the crucifixion and resurrection are important. Well, let me tell you I was blown away by these kids...we discussed why Jesus had the power to take our sins, we talked about the end times and the creation of the world. We talked about what heaven and hell will be like. These kids had so many questions that we ran out of time...wow...I was exhausted and exhilarated by the end of our time together. I love how children are never afraid to ask questions or say "that does not make sense to me" and then proceed to question something until it does make sense. They tackle the hard stuff...they want to know. Please pray for Ade and Caro they are special children who have amazing potential to serve the Lord.
