The little girl is only 7, and she walked into B’s Sunday school class last week with a smile. One of the Geneva members has been bringing her for the last month or two. During the lesson, activity and singing, she let on that she knew Jesus was married and had had a child with his wife, Mary Magdalene. Last Thursday afternoon, one of our Let’s Start Talking friends came by. Life’s falling apart and she’s faced with difficult questions. Cancer, marriage on the rocks, no job, few friends… G. is hurting. In addition, her son is attacking her struggling faith. “Didn’t you read in that Brown book that the Bible is man’s idea and not God’s, that Jesus was no more God than you or me? How can you believe that stuff?” – The fictional character Teabing says: “What I mean is that almost everything our fathers taught us about Christ is false.” Some people listen to him. The church says: We know that this disciple’s testimony is true (John 21.24). What have you heard your friends say? How have you replied?
