My Boys and the Bible
October 26, 2009

Crystal teaches Alex and Andy a Bible lesson every day.  Here is a story from a recent lesson:

So today's Bible lesson was from Luke 7... Jesus raised the widow's son. Short story even shorter, Jesus touched the coffin and told the young man to get up. V.15: "The dead man sat up and began to talk,....." Care to take a gander at what he said? Some of Alex and Andy's responses were:

*What's going on?
*What am I doing in this box?
*Hey! Put me down!
*Who died?
*I'm hungry. When's supper?

OK, so this side of Heaven we won't really know what he said. And if it were that important, Luke would've included it. There's no real profound nugget of truth in saying that he spoke. The miracle was that he was raised back to life. But this was just one of those times when I experienced reading a well-known story through the eyes of 9 yr. old boys. Try it sometime. Their insights might give you a much-needed chuckle!
