We were riding home from church tonight and I jumped into a conversation that was already taking place.
Silas: This is the sad part (hanging head) Jesus died on the cross. I’m sad that he died on a cross.
Me: It makes me sad that he HAD to die on a cross, but I’m so glad he did.
Silas: Why?
Me: Because he died on the cross for us. So we could go to heaven.
Silas: So, if he didn’t die on the cross would we have to?
Me: Well, yeah, kind of, in a way.
Silas: Oh.
Hope: I don’t want to die on a cross.
Silas: But, Hope, if you die on the cross, if we die on the cross, if everyone in the whole wide world dies on a cross at the same time, we can all say “we love the cross!” because we would go to heaven.
Prayer requests later that evening:
Grace- pray that Mommy and Hopie and Gracie don’t die.
Hope- pray that we all won’t die on a cross.
Silas- pray that everyone in the whole wide world can live forever.
