My six year old came to me the other night and told me that he wanted to get saved. He had been at VBS all week and his cousin had also gotten saved. He asked me how to do it? What did he need to say? I told him that he needed to ask Jesus to trade lives with him. To ask Him to take his life and give him His. It seemed to be good enough for my son. He prayed. My wife seemed afraid that maybe he was too young to understand or that maybe he didn't say the right words. I though about that. I came to the conclusion that if Jesus would turn down a 6 year old boy because he didn't say the right words or have his motivation down pat then we are all hopeless. It also led me to consider what exactly it means to be saved. Saved from what? Saved from Hell? That's what I've been told all my life but Jesus has saved me from so much more. Mostly me. His Holy Spirit speaking to me when I didn't know exactly what to do. His love penetrating my heart when I was ready to give it away to the world. I don't know what the Lord has in store for my son. But I do know that he is crucified with Christ and the Life that he now lives he lives by the faith of the Son of God who loved him and gave Himself for him. Yep Jesus will get ripped off in this life trade. He won't get in return what He has given my son. But He did it any way.
