Easter to a child

Tonight when we were putting the girls to bed we read a chapter from their Bible, read a few prayers from their prayer book (Sophie's all time favorite book), and then John told the girls the story of Easter. Sophie really wasn't all that interested but Zoe did a good job listening and asking questions. As I listened to John tell the very basic version to Zoe I kept thinking to myself - this must seem like such a strange story at least to a 3 year old. It is simple yet complex all at the same time. It is only by faith that it makes any sense and a 3 year old has that childlike faith that we are supposed to have and just responded "Jesus was resurrected".

I love how God can use our own children to teach us.
