“So the story is that the religious leaders were planning to kill Jesus, but when the day came, nobody could find Jesus,” says Eli 10. If you look at the Gospels as a game of hide-and-seek, Jesus always wins. He mastered the art of hiding from religious and political leaders, but revealing himself to seekers […]

“We can learn that God can rescue us from yucky darkness,” says Mollie Mae, 6. Darkness is indeed yucky, especially when you’re six years old. From the Bible perspective, it’s yucky at all ages because it represents all that is opposed to God. “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us […]

“Lazarus died and he was Jesus’ buddy,” says Samuel, 5. We don’t often think of Jesus as having buddies or friends, but he did. From the story in John 11 where a crying Mary meets Jesus to tell him that he could have prevented her brother from dying, we have the shortest verse in the […]

“Jesus gave life to humans to eat plants and meat to keep the circle of life in balance,” says Alexa 9. The “Circle of Life” makes for a catchy song in “The Lion King,” but the idea that death in and of itself is no big deal is ridiculous. Is there really hope in the […]

Yes, they’re in business together, but it’s much deeper than a business partnership. “Jesus and God are mighty,” says Kathy, 11. “They are one together. God and Jesus are patient, passionate and perfect. God […]

“I am the good shepherd,” said Jesus. “The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep,” (John 10:11). The world is full of leaders and gurus who promise peace and prosperity. If we pay a fee to take their course or vote for them in the next election, all our problems will disappear. In the […]

Who could forget that moment in the movie National Treasure when Benjamin Franklin Gates discovers the huge stockpile of precious metals, jewelry, artwork and artifacts dating back to the American Revolutionary War? Discovering the hidden door to untold riches is everyone’s dream. When I was climbing a mountain in the Arizona desert, I discovered what […]

“Jesus opens the door to heaven for believers,” says Zachary, 8. “Hell is not a place you want to go.” The President will probably never call Zachary to serve as a diplomat to the United Nations. His bluntness would offend too many people. I’m reminded of the door in the back of the closet in […]
