Nurturing Great Kidsনমুনা

He Has Overcome

Great news! Christ has won the battle over all the issues that we might have as a family.

Whatever it is that hurts your relationship with your children, Christ has already overcome. That is where we put our hope! He did so by triumphing over death through the cross. In him we have and hold victory.

Victory will not always look like we won. We need to help our children come to grips with understanding what this means. They will need the power of the cross to overcome some of the difficult situations they will encounter. We will want them to understand that only Jesus has the ability to disarm the power and authorities of this world.

Teach your children how to grow in the Lord daily and spend time with Christ on their own so they can uncover his power for themselves. The ultimate goal is that our children will discover the discernment and wisdom that we have gained over the years. Pray they will see it in us and then find it themselves.
