I'm not sure he quite gets it yet.

Tonight we attended a new convert baptism. I had to take Jack out of the meeting because he burst into tears and cried out, "I want a treat RIGHT NOW!!" 

While hanging out in the hallway, Jack pointed to the picture on the program and informed me that it was John the Baptist baptizing Jesus.

I ask him, "Hey, Jack. What happens when you are baptized?" 

Jack responds, "I get a treat!" 

"Noooo, your sins are washed away, and you become clean and perfect!"

Jack's face lights up and he asks, "Will that make my rash go away?"

LOL! I love Jack's train of thought!

I guess that's why we wait until kids are eight, but they probably still don't really get it then!
