So we’re starting to memorize the gospel of Mark. We’ve been working on 1:6-7:
Now John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.”
Derek spent a while last week explaining what “worthy” means and what John is saying about Jesus in this passage. We reviewed the passage today…
Emily: So what does John the Baptist means when he says he’s not worthy?
Tommy: He can’t bend down to untie Jesus’ sandals. He can’t bend because of the belt around his waist.
I love 4-year-old reasoning!
