One Day in Sunday School....
little 7 year old Bobby Christian:
"teacher - i heard someone say Paul and Peter and James and the jewish disciples who followed Jesus weren't the Christian Church.
it seems like they said Jesus didn't make a Christian Church.
they said the Promises in the Bible aren't for us.
that's not what we learned already, teacher.
i'm confused and scared now"
Teacher:
"Bobby that's a false teaching. of course the Disciples and all God's people who believed and believe in Jesus of Nazareth are the Church.
and that includes you and me.
don't listen to things you know are wrong.
all who know and love Jesus are God's people.
people who do not love Jesus are not God's people.
but we are trying to tell them about Him so they may be saved"
little Bobby:
"teacher - i heard someone say some people who don't believe in Jesus today are called Old Wine Skins and Jesus didn't pour the New Wine of His Covenant in His Blood into them so they could be saved without knowing Him.
that's not we learned before.
i'm confused now."
Teacher:
"Bobby that's another false teaching.
have you been watching television, Bobby? where did you ever learn a thing like that?
of course the Disciples and all God's people who believe are the Church.
people who do not believe in Jesus Christ of Nazareth who was Crucified, Died and Rose from the grave on the third day to accomplish forgiveness of their sins are not Old Wine Skins who are saved.
no one is saved while at the same time rejecting Jesus.
that's a false gospel.
all who love Jesus are God's people
that includes you, little Bobby
don't listen to things you know are wrong.."
little 7 year old Bobby:
"thank you teacher.
i knew it sounded wrong, because that's not what the Bible says."
