Since Kylie’s last chemo treatment she had been tired and not really feeling well. So we had not been reading that much. Last night she asked me to read from the Jesus Storybook Bible. She asked me to read two stories. Yet after the two she wanted me to keep going…we read about Jesus’ miracle of feeding the 5,000 people from a boy’s small lunch of 5 loaves and 2 fish.
Then we read about how Jesus loved the children and how he wanted all to come to him with the faith of a child… full of trust in God.
We read about Zacchaeus whom Jesus loved when nobody else did… because “ Jesus was showing what God’s love was like –
His wonderful, Never giving up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love”
Then we got to the Last Supper which was also the Passover. The Passover was a time to remember how God had rescued his people from being slaves in Egypt. Every year a lamb was killed and died as a Substitute for the people. This Passover God was getting ready for a greater Rescue a permanent Substitute.
We read how Jesus was the Lamb of God who died as our Substitute for our sins.
God had a Wonderful Surprise! For on the third day… as the women were going to the tomb to prepare Jesus’ body… they found the tomb was empty… the angel told them…”Jesus is not dead … He is Risen… He is Alive!!!!” The women ran to tell the others of the good news!
Jesus the Rescuer had accomplished the Rescue Plan…So now we could stop running from God and run to him… so He could love us and set us free!
I asked Kylie if she believed that Jesus came to rescue her ? and she said … Jesus is my Rescuer!!! She immediately wanted to tell her mom and dad that Jesus was her Rescuer… and she did!!!
