Wordless Book

I think one of the best illustrations of the glorious truth of the Good News of Jesus Christ is the Wordless Book. More info.

My son, age 4, just sat in for a CEF seminar for preschoolers where the Wordless Book was presented. When I asked him what he liked best about the seminar, he said "Getting the play-dough." Well, that's honest. But then I asked: "But what part of what the lady said during the special class did you like best?"

"Well, its about this baby's name called Moses. And Pharaoh's daughter came to the baby and she didn't kill that baby but I think Pharaoh was the one killing the babies so the princess didn't... But my favorite color in the Wordless Book is green."

Why? (I asked...)

"Because I just like it daddy. I like all the colors in thew world."

What does the green color in the Wordless book, mean?

"It means your growing."

How does someone grow?

"If they don't be a sinner."

And how does somebody not be a sinner?

"If they trust God."

How does someone Trust God?

"I don't know daaaaddyyy... look at my play dough, I'm rolling the little container on the floor but the play dough is still in it."

Okay, so he might not have yet had the full glory of the Gospel revealed to his little mind. But his daddy is soooo glad that he is learning the truth, growing in grace and wisdom. And I'm thankful for the wordless book.

You'll see more about making wordless bracelets on posts next week as I and a group travel to Cambodia to give a spiritual retreat to staff with the Cambodia branch of World Relief, including a VBS-style program for the kids.
