He took immediate interest in my Bible's bookmark (click the pic on left to enlarge) and the images that communicate man's inability to cross the gulf (death) without a bridge (the cross). The message struck Luka when he asked me why the people in the upper image were falling downward into the flames, but the others in the lower image had the cross and could walk over the fire to safety (heaven).
Moving over to Mommy's lap at the table, Luka said, "I want to walk over the cross and go to heaven." He was relentless about the cross, the fire, and wanting to walk over it to heaven! As Renata tenderly explained more of the gospel, proof that even a child can understand its simplicity, Luka said he wanted to pray. I was then called to take over. We sat together on the couch, the three of us, and had the blissful joy of leading our son in what we believe was truly a sincere prayer to trust Jesus as Lord and Savior...praise God!
Well, this is the first of the REALLY exciting news I promised to share this week.
More to come....

ReplyDeleteAMEN! How cool - I was just recounting the superhero story to a friend the other day. Luka was telling me about all of the superheroes and their unique powers. Finally with all his unbridled 5 yr old enthusiasm, he said, "Miss Dina, you know who the greatest superhero of all is...(dramatic pause)...It is Jesus!! I wondered aloud how long it would be until he would accept Jesus personally...and here it is! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love that story, Dina. Used it many times to illustrate the enthusiasm for Christ that we all should have. Bless you sister!
