Question:  Is my 5-year-old too young to teach about Jesus Christ being our Savior?

Answer:  No, I believe that the average 5-year-old is able to start to understand that God loved us so much that He sent His only Son to save us from the punishment of our sins.  As your child gets older, he will be able to understand that our sin separates us from God.  To be with God forever, we must accept His Son, Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  Teach your child John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” NKJV

Teach your child that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, but He did not stay dead.  He rose on the third day, and lives with His Father, God in Heaven.

Teaching your child these things is the best gift you can give them.  So, go ahead and celebrate Easter with your family knowing that you know the truth of God’s love for us.  Rejoice!   He is Risen!
