If life is like a box of chocolates, than Jesus is like a Brita filter...
I learn so much about God from trying to explain Him to my kids. One day, while talking to Jonas about the significance and importance of Jesus, this is what came out:
Let's say you're on a hike and (if you're like me), you forget a water bottle. You see a lovely, clear stream. The water looks clean. You want to take a drink, but we both know what that means. If you drink that water, it will make you sick. First, you must filter out all the unseen bacteria. Only then will it become drinkable and life sustaining.
We are like stream water. We make look like we have it all together on the outside, but inside we are being eaten up by sin. It is only through the filter and sacrifice of Jesus that we become clean, useful, and healthy.
