Daddy, Mommy, Who Is The Man On That Cross?

[Miss Blue]

I would tell him exactly who the man on the cross is. "That picture, honey, is Jesus who died many years ago so we can go to heaven" I think that would be enough to tell my child at this point.

Here's an appropriate song I think:


YouTube - John Michael Montgomery : The Little Girl

I guess I thought this was asked to those who may not be Christian. My answer to my own children as a believer is different than it would be if they asked who "that angel on top of that temple" is.

So you don't believe that a man named Jesus never existed, started a religious movement, was put on trail by Pontius Pilate, then crucified?


So if you disagree that the above never happened historically, then how do you explain the origions of Christianity?

It could be that you don't know something that the rest of the planet does?

In short, they should tell the child about the gospel.
