So this morning while we were taking tea, i was telling my
baby that he should never play with electric cables, plugs or any
electric Gadgets. Then that is when the story started. I asked him if he
knew what would happen to him once he got electrocuted, and he answered that he
would die and get put on the cross. I told him that wasn't not true (I had to
tell him what happens when one is dead; not my favorite conversation, but he
wants the truth, nothing less)

Then he said (out of the blue) “Mama, Jesus did bad things,
that is why he was put on the cross!” it was not a question, it was a
statement!!! I said , " no my dear. Jesus was put on the cross because
people were too bad and Jesus had to die so that God could forgive their sins”
( in my mind I am thinking, I hope I did my best and he got it. ) may be he did
because he then said, “so that they don't get burned… they were forgiven.” and
our conversation on the topic just ended like that.
How I praise God for this wonderful gift; of beautiful
conversations with my four year old who still has to grasp the essence of the
Cross and yet is amazed by the story of the Cross.
