A Very Special (Easter) Sunday Told By Two Children
Try not to smile as you watch these two children tell the Easter story through their child-like hearts.
C.S. Lewis, in his classic book Mere Christianity, wrote these words:
[Christ] wants a child’s heart, but a grown-up’s head. He wants us to be simple, single-minded, affectionate, and teachable, as good children are; but He also wants every bit of intelligence we have to be alert at its job, and in first-class fighting trim.
May this Sunday be “A Very Special Sunday” as we celebrate our risen Savior and King, Jesus Christ.
