July 3 | Why Did Jesus Have to Die? | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew, Freedom Week hits the big question today: why did Jesus have to die? On Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Romans 5:8 and explains the cross to kids the way they can actually picture it. Every wrong thing we do runs up a bill too big to pay. Jesus stepped in and paid the whole thing Himself, not because anyone made Him, but because He wanted us with Him. This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: say one thank-you sentence to Jesus out loud, stop hiding when you mess up because the bill is already paid, and ask the heart question, am I trying to earn God's love or do I believe Jesus already covered it? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: Jesus paid the price so you could go free.
