On Good Friday I got to see a play depicting the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. I, along with crowds of people, followed the group through the streets as the actors traveled from location to location and eventually ended up at the top of the hill where the Catholic church is located.
As I stood watching I couldn't help but be struck by the kids in-front of me watching in earnest as Jesus was beaten and whipped. These children seeing what Christ did for them, even if it only a simple performance, was pretty incredible.
A certain verse immediately came to my mind.
Here it is in Pijin, see if you can figure out which one it is.
So Jisas hemi sei, "Yufala letem olketa pikinini fo kam long mi. Yufala no stopem olketa ya. Bikos olketa hu I olsem olketa pikinini ya, olketa nao fitim fo stap insaet long kingdom long Heaven."Matiu 19:14
So, on this Easter weekend I am again reminded of how blessed I am to be a "pikinini" of such a Good God.
