I'd simply wanted to purchase a few Easter storybooks for my grandkids. The game plan was an 'in-and-out of the Christian bookstore in a jiffy' sort of plan. I'd thought my strategy would work like a charm, since Easter is just around the corner.
I thought wrong.
Left empty-handed. Again!
Oh, there were plenty of Easter storybooks alright. Cute ones. Some even hinted at the true meaning of Easter. But, none told the whole story. Not one.
Disappointed!
I wanted to share the whole story with my grandkids. I wanted to share it in storybook form. In Paul Harvey-like manner, I wanted to tell my grandchildren, 'And now you know the rest of the story.'
Determined not to let my disappointment get the best of me, and just as determined that this Easter my grandkids' hands and minds will grasp the whole Easter story, I'll create my own Easter storybook for them. After all, I already know the rest of the story. It never changes.
The rest of the story? Jesus didn't have to die. He chose to die. He defeated Satan and sin when He died and rose again. This is why Jesus is the only way to God. The only way to be assured that we'll go to Heaven to live with Jesus forever after our earthly lives are over, is if we ask Jesus for forgiveness of our sins and accept Him as our Savior.
P.S. I don't like shopping anyways. So, it's a win-win.
