Three-year-old Theology

Posted on April 14, 2008 by Jenn

Parts of a conversation with S3 last night while cuddling and putting off bedtime:

Jenn: What can you tell me about Jesus?
S3: Jesus will grow up and be a singer
Jenn: Jesus is already grown up.
S3: God can come to the concert. (thoughtful pause) I like Jesus.

A moment later…

S3: I like you the best and Dad the best and my girls the best!
Jenn: Did you know God loves Sam the best, and Mommy the best, and Daddy the best, and Ty (his friend) the best? God loves everyone the best!
S3: (very excited) God loves Ty the best??? Yes!!! (best said like Tiger Woods) That makes me happy!

Jenn: Tell me more about Jesus.
S3: He had a nose…and hair…and a body.
Jenn: What happened to Jesus?
S3: He died.
Jenn: Did he stay dead?
S3: No. He’s alive!…And he rode on a donkey.

The boy has great wisdom. Not quite sure where he gets it from, though. :)

Maybe he needs his own blog?

” You must become as these little ones…”

Simple trust. Ahhh, to have it again.
