An Unexpected Visitor

It's great to have children in church. Vacuuming Cheerios crumbs off the rug, hearing crying during a prayer, and feeling the back of your seat being kicked means that there's a new generation that will grow up knowing about God! Another great thing about having kids in church is Bible class. At our congregation, I have the joy of teaching the preschoolers. Our classroom is at the back of the building and has big windows that look out over the back entrance. Sometimes drivers use the back driveway as a turn-around spot. One Sunday, I was teaching just one little girl not quite 4 years old. We had been talking a lot about Jesus in class over the past weeks (of course), and I was in the middle of the lesson that day. All of the sudden her eyes got huge, she opened her mouth up really wide, and she ran to the window. I followed her just in time to see a big, middle-aged man sporting long dark hair and riding a motorcycle turning around in our driveway. The little girl, still staring, screamed "Oh my gosh, it's Jesus!" as enthusiastically and seriously as she could. There was nothing I could do but laugh! Would Jesus ride a motorcycle if He were on the earth today? Who knows? But in a three-year old's mind, it makes perfect sense.
