When my son Jordan was about 2 years old, I had to stop at the church office while he sat in the car with his mother. Out of the blue, he asked her, "Mommy, Is Jesus in the office?"

My wife was taken aback, and rather than get into a long theological discussion with a 2 year old, answered, "No, son. Jesus is in heaven."

Jordan responded, "Is He coming back?"

"Yes, He is," she replied.

He answered her as only an 2 year old could. "I’ll probably look for Him."

The theology of a 2 year old sums up the Christian life!
