My son (7), was touched by the story his Sunday school teacher shared about Good Friday.
" Mummy, do you know it was really painful when Jesus was nailed on the cross?" he exclaimed.
"Yes."
" Why did He want to do that when it was so painful?" he continued.
It was a teachable moment to emphasize that's just how much He loves us. And Daniel was quick to add that He died on the cross to pay for our sins.
I am happy that he had reached yet another level of appreciation of what God had done for us. Somehow knowing that he died for our sins did not impact him as much as realising that He suffered much in that process... Our conversation had brought me to a refreshing appreciation of His suffering love for me!
