Lately we've struggled over the fact that we've failed to communicate the reality of God's grace to our children, especially Jadon. Earlier tonight, however, when we were talking about spending eternity together after this earthly life passes, we had a very interesting exchange:
Daddy: "Be there, Son. Mommy & Daddy love you & want to spend eternity together with you. Be sure to trust in Jesus; He's already bought you the tickets there [to heaven, God's kingdom]."
Jadon (correcting Daddy): "Well, Jesus IS the way to heaven."
Many thanks to our Lord Jesus, Who has used His Word, perhaps Pastor Dean-O & the Crossline children's ministry staff, perhaps Pastor Ray, perhaps a recently heard Focus on the Family's "Adventures in Odyssey" episode, & (… dare we say it?) perhaps even repentant Daddy & Mommy to get that message more deeply across to our beloved son.
