I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Bible story time is one of my favorite times of the day. We have the best discussions and these kids continually astound me with the depth of their understanding and their utter faith. Today we had the story of Moses offering to take the punishment due to the Israelites for their sin of worshipping the golden calf. I then asked “Who do we know that took the place of sinners so they would not have to suffer for their sins?” Their hands immediately shot up. “Jesus” they answered confidently. I then asked if they remembered a story (from long ago) about someone who offered to take the place for his brother. Another hand tentatively rose into the air and the student answered “Joseph’s brother??” Wow! Yes, Judah offered for Benjamin! Their minds amaze me. Praise God for these young believers and their faith.
