April 2nd: Why Did Jesus Have to Die? (The Answer Every Kid Should Hear) | Carpooling with Jesus
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
🧠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!
đź“Ł Parent Tip:

Let’s spread God’s love—one car ride at a time.
