That really lifted me in a way that was truly the ‘good news’. As someone who teaches kids, I suppose we have to get straight to the point with them too! Maybe we spend far too much time beating around the bush, entertaining kids, arts and crafts, drawing bible stories, bible theme games, trying to weave the bible into every activity etc. It has become so culturally unacceptable to say ‘Christ died for our sins’ that we feel we have to spend so much time and effort building pretty bridges to people before we can pluck up the courage to say ‘ Christ died for our sins’. And of course, the good news culminates in the fact that it is proven by the resurrection! Maybe if the church got down to the business of ‘being the church’ instead of being so many other things that it was never intended to be, we would actually get far more work done! Hallelujah, He has risen indeed. Thanks Jay!
