Jason, Marissa and Tim sat around Austin in a bright room as they got settled.
“Do you know why you’re here?" He asked them.
The kids all shook their heads.
“I’m going to tell you a story today,” Austin answered. “A story about a man who loved you very much. A story about how, even though you don’t know it, he saved your life.”
The three kids looked at him with big eyes.
“It’s a story that a lot of people have told, but did you know it was meant for children?” he asked them. “Adults love to make it complicated, but it’s really very simple.”
“A man named Jesus came to earth some two thousand years ago to tell us that we could be with him, in peace, happiness, and be loved forever. All we would need to do was follow him. He pointed to his Father, God, and told us that everything we need is provided for by him. All we have to do is listen.”
“Do you want to hear the full story about him coming to earth to share this with us all?”
The three kids nodded their heads yes.
