Q & A with a Super Hero: Easter Simplified
Talk to me about Easter.
J: I'm super excited about lots of super candy, going to church and celebrating Jesus died from the cross.
Do you know what that means?
J: He rosed again on the third day.
Do you know the story of Jesus' death?
J: He died on the cross.
Why? Why'd he die on a cross?
J: Because they were mean to him.
Who is they?
J: The mean villain people.
Did they like Jesus?
J: No, they wanted to hurt Jesus on the cross.
Do you know why we celebrate Jesus' death?
J: Because, to know what's next.
What is next for us?
J: Going up to heaven.
How do we get up to heaven?
J: When you are good boy on earth.
What does "being a good boy" look like?
J: Listening to mom/dad, grandparents and God. Not lying and stealing. Praising God only.
Are those things hard to do?
J: Yes.
What's the hardest?
J: Listening and accepting feedback, and following directions.
Do you ever hear God?
J: I don't hear his little voice.
How do you know when he's talking to you? Or guiding you?
J: I don't hear his voice, but I know he's watching.
Do you want to go to heaven?
J: YES!
Me too! Is it okay if I come too?
J: Yes, and daddy. And Sammy.
So we will be together again one day?
J: Uh huh... that'll be cool!
Anything else you want to say?
J: Being honest is the most important thing because one of the rules is making sure you are honest and going to heaven is most important. Be nice on earth and stay positive!
