One Proud Day!


Last week, Nicholas met with the session at Heritage to determine if he has enough maturity and understanding about the significance of communion to be admitted to the Lord's table. Imagine our joy to hear our six year old answer the following questions:

Pastor Shawn: Nicholas, do you sin?
Nicholas: Yes, sir.
Pastor: Does God punish sin?
Nicholas: Yes, sir.
Pastor: Will God punish you for your sins?
Nicholas: No, sir.
Pastor: Why won't God punish you for your sins?
Nicholas: Because Jesus died for me.

Pastor: In communion is the bread and wine ordinary bread and wine?
Nicholas: Yes, sir. But it represents Christ's body and his blood.
Pastor: Why do we take communion?
Nicholas: Because Jesus commanded us to and because it makes us spiritually stronger.

Elder Nelson: Nicholas, can you live a good enough life to earn any part of your salvation?
Nicholas: No, sir.
Nelson: Can Pastor Shawn, or your dad or mom?
Nicholas: No, sir.
Nelson: Could Jesus?
Nicholas: Yes, sir.

Pastor Shawn: Nicholas, say you were to die and upon going to heaven, God were to ask you, "Why should I let you into heaven?" What would you say?
Nicholas: Because Jesus died for me.

Elder Muse: Nicholas, when you pray, what do you pray for?
Nicholas: I thank God for different things and ask him to forgive me.

Soli Deo Gloria indeed!
