happy easter

We've been asking Caroline what happened on Easter and she says
"Jesus died on the cross."

Then we say why did Jesus die on the cross and she says "because Jesus love me (in her high pitched voice).

When we were having our storytime tonight before going to bed we asked her what her favorite part about Easter was and she said "jellybeans!"

Easter is really such a simple message. I don't think at this age Caroline can fully grasp what Christ did for us, but I love the mind of a 2 year old. It really is as simple as what Caroline says. Jesus is the answer to the brokeness in our lives. We can receive salvation because of Jesus' death and resurrection on the cross, which then enables us to have a personal relationship with Him.
