It was Sunday, I was on my way to church and my wife had gone to Sorocaba to visit our daughter. I called to ask about the trip and heard the voice of my little granddaughter, four years old: I want to talk to Grandpa… My wife handed her the phone:
Grandpa, where are you?
Hi sweetheart, I'm in the car.
Where are you going?
I'm going to church.
What are you going to do there?
I'm going to talk with the people.
But what are you going to say to them?
We are going to talk about the Bible.
Bible!? What is that, Grandpa?
The Bible is the word of God.
Word of God!!? And what does the word of God say?
It tells the story of Jesus.
And what did Jesus do, Grandpa?
I have talked with many people about this, and 2024 years later the most important part of his work is still a mystery, covered over by the teaching of men.
What did Jesus do?
How would you answer that for a 4-year-old child?
And I add:
What have we done, in ourselves, with the Son of God?
, How could what Jesus did change, and how can it change, our condition?
How do you see this?
