My wife Dawn was taking our kids to class this morning and on her way was reviewing some of the bible studies we've been doing with our kids. We've begun going through the Gospel of Mark and spent the first week on talking about "Preparing the Way" (I'll blog on that next week). But Dawn and the kids read about John baptizing Jesus and was talking to them about baptism. She asked the kids (Hannah, who's 10; and Ellie, who's 9) what baptism means and why Jesus got baptized.
Ellie answered that Jesus got baptized to give us an example to follow.
Hannah said that baptism was "pledging your love to Jesus."
Both correct...both beautiful answers.
Let's never forget that the Gospel is deep enough to confound the most brilliant of minds, but simply enough that even a child can understand it.
