Over the last few weeks, I’ve spent some time in my lessons with Kindergarten learning about how and why the best book to read is the Bible. We’ve been learning lots together about how God created the whole universe and made lots of promises to His people as well as how we can read God’s unfolding plan to send a forever king in Jesus.
However, only on Wednesday I had a student say to me, “Miss Beikoff, the Bible is so special because it tells us how we can talk to God.”
This made my heart melt. I love these golden moments. I love that even a comment from a five-year-old allows us teachers to humbly take a step back, reflect and be reminded of these great truths because I believe this Kindy student is exactly right.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
The Bible tells us that God desires to have a personal relationship with us. He loves us so much that he sent his one and only Son, Jesus to die upon that cross so that we might believe in Him.
I’m sure you are looking forward to the four-day weekend next week, and I’ll be praying that it will be a time of good rest with your family, but I wonder this year if it might be a time to think about why Easter is an occasion of reflection and celebration? I wonder if maybe it’s the time to talk to God, open-up the Bible and see for yourself what Jesus offers you at the cross this Easter?
