cerebral sponge

Today in church one of the small children posed the question “Is Jesus an angel?” The woman at the front of the room was teaching a Sunday school lesson for young kids, and she was showing a picture of Jesus surrounded by angels in Heaven. She pointed out that Jesus was in the picture and she also pointed out the angels.

It was a good question for a kid probably two or three years of age to ask. I couldn’t believe that came out of his mouth at his age, but it made me realize how much little kids are like cerebral sponges. And sometimes, they just want answers to life’s questions just like the rest of us.
