God’s Easter
Miracles Character Interview with Jimmy
Background: In God’s Easter Miracles, Jimmy’s character accepts Christ in his
heart.
Q: I understand you have accepted
Christ in your heart! How wonderful! What did you think of Jesus before you
accepted him into your heart?
A: I
knew Jesus was special because my mommy and daddy prayed to him. And every Sunday
we went to his house and it’s called a Church. But, I really didn’t know Jesus.
But He gave me a new heart!!
Q: How did Jesus give you a new
heart?
A: Well,
I went to Sunday school, and Miss Linda hid some Easter Eggs. I found the two
special eggs!! So I got two prizes. Paul wanted one, and Miss Linda asked me to
share. I didn’t think it was fair that I had to share with Paul when I found
them not him! Miss Linda said it wasn’t fair that Jesus died for my sins. I
went home and I felt bad. I didn’t know Jesus did that! So I asked Jesus to
help me to be a good boy and be like him. The next morning, I woke up and I
felt happy to give one of my eggs to Paul. It made me feel good to share it
with him. Jesus changed my heart. He made it nicer! And because I believe in Jesus,
I will live in heaven, forever! Mommy said heaven is so beautiful and her and
daddy will be there too!
Q: Do you pray to him now that
you believe in him?
A: Well,
at night, I used to pray to him, but I didn’t really feel anything. But NOW
when I pray to Him I feel He is listening to me and I love Him.
Q: Why do you love him?
A:
Because he loves me, silly!
Q: Do you tell other kids about
Him?
A: I
told my baby brother and my friend, Bobby, who lives next door. I told them
that Jesus was a real man who is God. They didn’t know, so they were surprised.
I like surprising people, it’s fun!
Q: How did Paul feel when you
gave him your egg?
A: He
was SO happy! He was crying before when he didn’t get one. You know what He
did?
Q: What did Paul do?
A: He
gave his egg to Lenny who was in the hospital. Lenny was hurt. I prayed to Jesus
for Lenny to get better. You know what happened then?
Q: What happened then?
A: Jesus
gave Lenny a miracle! He was all better and could go
home. Jesus gave me a miracle of a new heart and Lenny a miracle of being all
better!
Q: Did you have a fun Easter?
A: It
was the best Easter of all! I got lots of candy in my eggs and a chocolate
Easter bunny, but the best gift was getting a new best friend. You want to know
his name?
Q: What is his name?
A:
Jesus, silly!
