As I was going over Romans 6:23 with one of our kids at our Summer Quest site, I asked him if he knew what “wages of sin” meant. Expecting him to answer no, he said, “Yeah. Wedges. Like potato wedges.”
After we both laughed, we talked about what we earn from sin. He got serious, looked me in the eye, and told me that his sin earned death.
Wow.
One of the best parts of Summer Quest is talking to kids about Jesus. Not only do we get to share the Gospel each day, they get the chance to share what they know about God.
In our Bible lesson time, I challenged the kids to memorize 12 verses of Scripture that cover the Gospel from beginning to end. To my joy, half of them stepped up to the challenge and shared what they learned with the whole class.
And that’s what I love about Summer Quest. It grants me the opportunity to share God’s Word and challenge the next generation to do the same.
Grace and Peace!
