Explaining the Trinity to a 4 year old:


My 4 year old and I had 'the talk' the other night.  You know, the one that goes something like this....

Me:  And then God gave us his only son... and Jesus did wonderous things on earth and then died on the cross for our sins.  He is our Savior, Our God.

4 yo:  And Jesus is God's son.

Me: Yes

4 yo:  And Jesus is God?

Me: Yes

4 yo:  And God is God?

Me: Yes

4 yo:  But Jesus is God, and God is God, and Jesus is God's son?

Me: Um, yeah. 

Insert perplexed 4 yo look.

Me:  I know its confusing but God loves you very much.

4 yo:  Okay mom :)
