When Easter nears, I think of Easter baskets and how to
communicate the Easter story to little ones. God tells us to think like
children. “Truly I tell
you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3 NIV).
· In
my children’s books, Really Rare Rabbits,
the little rabbits hear someone teaching about Jesus.
They listen. They press
their ears to the window to hear more. As adults, are we too busy to listen to
God’s voice?
· Do
we lean our elbows on heavily windowsills and press our ears to God’s heavenly window and listen to His voice or have we
come away from the God’s window and only hear the world’s noise?
· Even
a child can hear the story of the cross and believe. It’s a simple message of
love. Jesus came to earth to die for all that we might live with Him in heaven
for eternity––if we only believe.
Easter is a time of renewal and reflection. Let’s reflect on all Christ did for us on the cross and determine to press our ears to His window and listen to His voice on Easter morning and always––with our ears pressed like the little rabbits.
