TRAPPED IN A ROCK
Several years ago on an Easter Sunday we were out in the parking lot after church when my three-year-old nephew was asked by his mom if he had learned the meaning of Easter in Sunday School. After answering with a simple, "Yes," my sister tried to probe a little deeper and asked, "can you tell us what happened on Easter?" My nephew replied matter-of-factly, "Jesus was trapped in a rock, but he got out!" Even a three-year-old can grasp the simple truth that Jesus can do the impossible, whether it be escaping from a big rock or rising from the dead! He can even help overcome any "rocks" in your life. No matter how big the rock, it's just a pebble to Jesus!
