I tried to stay out of this conversation as much as I could, but Chloe kept asking me and looking for confirmation to Gabes answers. I mostly said things like, “Mm-hm”, and “That’s right.”
While eating dinner yesterday:
Chloe: Mama, why did they hang Jesus on a cross?
Gabe: Because the Jews didn’t like him.
Chloe: So they hung him on a cross (as she stretches her arms out wide) and let him die. Because they didn’t know he was God?
Gabe: Yeah, they didn’t know he was God and they didn’t believe the things he said, so they killed him.
Chloe: And he died, huh? (With a rather sad expression.)
Gabe: (As he stuffs another bite into his mouth) Yeah, but it’s okay Chloe because he had to die. He did it for us. It makes it better for us now.
The conversation ended and we finished our supper.
