Alex is a bit obsessed with all things about Jesus and the Cross. The only Bible story he wants to read is the crucifixion story and when we pick up Cole from preschool, we must make our way in to the sanctuary where he stares at the cross. Every day while we sit there quietly he whispers “Why Jesus die?” I’ve tried answering this a hundred different ways, but every day the same question.
Today in the car on the way home from school, he asked again. “Why Jesus die?” Cole, trying to irritate Alex as only a big brother can, answered “Because Jesus loves big Easter trucks!” Alex replies, “No Cole, Jesus loves ME!”
