Today's Bible story in chapel was the beginning of Numbers, where God told Moses to take a census of the Israelites. Who was to be counted? Not everyone. Only the males over age 20.
Why? They would be the soldiers, the army.
Pastor asked the kids, "But why only the males?"
After a few answers that were partly true, but not quite to the point, Pastor led them to the key point. "It's about Jesus, folks."
Men protect and guard women. The husband lays down his life for his bride. Real men sacrifice for their families instead of thinking first of themselves. This is what Jesus did for His bride the Church. And pointing to this truth about Jesus, God instructed that the Israelite army would be the men.
