April 2nd: Why Did Jesus Have to Die? (The Answer Every Kid Should Hear) | Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

đź‘‹ Hey Friends!

Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus — the 5-minute podcast that turns your car rides, breakfast table, and family time into faith-filled moments.

In today’s episode, Pastor Justin is diving into a big, important question:

👉 Why did Jesus have to die?

It’s a question many kids wonder about — and the answer is beautiful, powerful, and full of hope.

đź“– Bible Verse of the Day

Romans 5:8 –

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

đź’ˇ In This Episode:
  • What sin does and how Jesus fixed it

  • Why Jesus chose to die (it wasn’t an accident!)

  • How Jesus’ death brings us close to God

  • Emma’s classmate Carissa and the story of second chances

    đź§  Key Takeaway for Kids:

    Jesus died for you because He loves you—even before you got anything right. And He rose again so you can live with Him forever.

    đź’¬ What Would Jesus Say?

    "I love you so much that I gave my life for you. You don’t have to be perfect. I died so you could be forgiven and close to God forever in heaven."

    ✏️ Carissa’s Story:

    Carissa forgot to study for her math test and failed. She felt awful. But her teacher gave her a second chance—and even offered to help her study.

    That’s a lot like what Jesus does for us:
    âś… We mess up.
    âś… He steps in.
    âś… He offers us grace, love, and a fresh start.

    🙌 Living It Out:
    • Talk to Jesus when you mess up—He already paid the price.

    • Thank Him for loving you before you ever got it right.

    • Give others the same kind of grace He gives you.

      âť“ Question of the Day:

      What are other ways we can go to Jesus for help when we need it?

      Use that question to spark great conversation before drop-off!
