JESUS HAD A ROSE

Judy Packard of Lake Leelanau, Michigan, talks about the time her neighbor, visiting the Holy Land, sent a letter describing the beautiful gardens.

Her 6-year-old mused, "I wonder if he saw the rose."

"What rose?" Judy asked.

"You know," said her child, "like the Bible women saw. They went to that garden where Jesus was buried and they saw Christ had a rose!"

(Judy Packard, "Kids of the Kingdom," Christian Reader. From a sermon by C. Philip Green, Our Living Hope, 4/26/2011)
