Good News Club

Today at Good News Club Kiersten did a superb job telling the Easter story with an object lesson of tiny objects placed in colored plastic eggs. Five little ones stayed afterward because they wanted to "hear more" about Jesus and had questions.

All five have previously asked Jesus to be their Savior, but they get some interesting messages from other places. Today the subject was tattoos. Someone at their church told them if you go to heaven with tattoos you'll make God really mad.

Oh dear. If something as small as tattoos make Him mad, I'm really in trouble! I was happy to tell them that when they receive the Lord Jesus as their Savior, they are just as welcome in heaven as Jesus is (even with tattoos). All our sins were laid on Jesus at the cross, and all His righteousness was placed on us. We are FREE from guilt. Why are we so reluctant to believe that?
