Eternal life

The gospel. Never failing to amaze and confound. 

I think about this at Vacation Bible School this summer. In a room full of kids hearing testimonies from those sent to the ends of the earth. Sent to share the Good News in places where He is not known. 

Then we bring it home to where they are. Today. Sitting on a carpet in an air-conditioned church building. 

Jesus came that they too might have eternal life. And we tell the way of salvation.

Now it makes sense

In the most unlikely places, a song of truth plays. Or Scripture is repeated. Even memorized. Without explanation.

And the words somehow settle in the brains of young ones. Not fully grasped or understood. Tucked in a corner.

Until one day, clarity comes. And the distant, vague memory is brought to life.

“Now it makes sense.”
