Sorry, completely wrong...anyone else?

From Brad.

After dinner we typically have our family devo time. Recently we've been reading "Leading Little Ones to God" to our kids (we love it). We came to the section where Jesus was arrested and brought before Pilate.

The book says "Pilate asked, 'What bad things has He done?' Nobody could think of even one bad thing Jesus had done." So I stopped and asked the kids, "Why couldn't anyone think of even one bad thing Jesus had done?"

Now, it isn't unusual to get strange or wrong answers from time to time, but typically we can pull some truth out of the attempt and encourage our kids in trying to answer our questions. However, at this time, Alex responded, "Because Jesus is so powerful..." I thought, good start, keep going kid. "Because Jesus is so powerful, he blinded them from knowing or remember all of the bad things Jesus did!" Well, ummm, let's see...No Alex, sorry, completely wrong...please never, ever say that in public. Anyone else? :)

Don't you just LOVE your kids? =)

Thanks for sharing! (Aim, did you put this one in his memory book for safe-keeping?)

Hugs from Colorado Springs!
