Emphasis Preaching Journal

Chuck Swindoll in his book, Growing Deep in the Christian Life relates the story about a Sunday school teacher of kindergarten students who sought to know how much the young children were really learning in their Christian education. She talked to a five-year-old boy who was not aware of the details of the story of Jesus. She told him about Jesus dying upon the cross. He did not know what a cross was; therefore, the teacher picked up a few sticks and made a crude cross. The teacher told the little boy that Jesus was nailed to a cross something like this and then Jesus died.
