And A Child Shall Lead Them

My wife and I attended an Easter play at our son Ryne’s church. Our daughter in love Haley and Ryne were in the play and our grandson Aiden was a part of the audio/visual production. Michelle and I arrived early and took a seat near the front. Our granddaughter Amelia was sitting right behind us on the second row.
Before the play started Amelia was talking to a couple of her friends that she had invited. When one of the little girls asked what the play was about, Amelia started sharing with the other girls how Jesus had come down from Heaven and was born. She then shared about His life, death and resurrection in way too much detail for a 10-year-old to understand. Michelle and I were about to cry as we heard our 10-year-old granddaughter sharing about Jesus with great clarity.
When we called Haley later that night to tell her what Amelia was doing, Amelia could hear the conversation and she said, “Isn’t that what I was supposed to be doing?” Let that sink in for a minute. A 10-year-old understands that she is to be telling people about Jesus and was doing a better job than most adults that I know. We were and are so proud of her for her faith in Jesus and the boldness to share that faith.
What if we all had the mindset that we are supposed to be sharing about Jesus with our friends, family, coworkers, and basically everyone that we come into contact with? Jesus didn’t give the Great Commission to share the gospel with just preachers and evangelists. He calls ALL of His followers to share His love and message of hope.
Thank you, Amelia, for reminding me and us about our call to share about Jesus. A little child has rekindled my desire to make sure that others know all about Jesus.
