My Life as a Play: Why it is worth it

Setting: Daddy is reading Jacob bedtime stories. One book is a children's Bible, Storybook Bible,  with various stories in it. Daddy is reading the story of the Cruxifiction.

Daddy: "They nailed Jesus to the cross. 'Father, forgive them,' Jesus gasped. 'They don't understand what they are doing.' "

Daddy keeps reading the story. He notices Jacob sniffling. He looks down and sees tears in Jacob's eyes.

Daddy: What is the matter Jacob?
Jacob: Tears are coming out of my eyes. I am sad for Jesus. He is dying on the cross.
Daddy: If this was the end, it would be very sad because he is dying. But it is not the end. Look at the rest of the story.

Daddy reads the story on the Resurrection and how Jesus is now alive. Jacob stops crying and smiles.

Daddy: You see Jacob. Jesus died, but he did not stay dead. He is now alive.
Jacob: We should tell people.
Daddy: Tell people what?
Jacob: That Jesus is alive.

  1. What a touching story! I'm so glad that he likes the Jesus Storybook Bible! I pray that God will continue to work in his heart through the power of His word and one day call Him to repent and follow Christ.
