Good Friday is coming up, which means there’s a special emphasis on Jesus torturous suffering and death on the cross. That means it’s prime time for questions from kids on really tough topics around death, suffering, and the nature of God’s plan of redemption. Why did Jesus let it happen, why did the crucifixion need to happen, and how does atonement work, exactly? And how do we know when our kids are ready to really talk about these tough things? Buckle up.
