Guest Blogger: The Real Meaning of Christmas

I'm girl whom God loves. I'm here to tell you about the meaning of Christmas. It's about something that happened long ago... there was no room at the inn, so Jesus was born in a stable. Some shepherds in a nearby field were watching their sheep. An angel came to them, saying: "Glory to God in the highest." The angel told them, "the Son of David is lying in a manger." They were scared. The angel said: "Fear not!" Wise men came later. They brought gold, frankincense and myrrh. What would a baby do with gold? I don't know. The Bible doesn't tell us.In this Christmas season, remember the real reason! What is the real reason? Jesus! So, when you open your presents and set up your tree, remember the real meaning of  Christmas.  {The meaning of Christmas told in the story above} It's about  Jesus  coming to save us. "For God  so loved the world  that he gave his  only son, that  whoever  believes in him  shall not perish, but have  everlasting life" ~ John 3:16.                                                                                                                                                   "Bye - Bye"            

Which Part of the Body of Christ are YOU?

This is a Girl Whom God Loves!

The other day after dinner, Daddy asked each of us to say which part of the Body of Christ we wanted to be. He said he was a belly button, and then he told us about the way we were connected to Mommy when we were born. Daddy cut the cord, and now we only have a silly little belly button to remind us.

Well, I decided what part of Christ's body I want to be: the neck. Because the neck holds up the head, and that's Jesus.

Mommy said she wanted to be the tongue, so others can "taste and see that the Lord is good."

My little brother wanted to be a hand, to serve God a drink and His food. But God doesn't need food!

What part of the body of Christ do you want to be?

Guest Blogger: The Love of God

This my daughter's second guest article (she's seven years old). I've written it exactly as she worded it . . .

God is amazing. God has love for us. I have written a post about eternity, and now it's time for love. Here is a Scripture verse about love: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). That's amazing! I think God is wonderful. I think His love is great. He has everlasting love! This is great news. He loves the whole world - even you.

Bye bye, I hope you enjoy this.

Children have no trouble understanding the "free offer."

Guest Blogger: Explaining Eternity

My daughter enjoys reading THEOparadox, and today she is joining me as a guest blogger. She's seven. I'm posting this exactly as she wrote it:

Here is a girl who is wondering something. Here she is: I'm wondering how can God have no beginning or end? That's amazing!! I can understand "no end" better than no beginning. Isn't that amazing? Well, God is more amazing than this girl! Anyway, here she is! Goodbye! I hope you enjoy my story!


So, how would you explain eternity to a child?
