#15 A Child's Intuition

I've been reading the 'Jesus Storybook Bible' with my son a few nights a week.  It's a sampler of well-known Bible stories, but it finishes every story off with a forward-looking message.  Always something to do with God's rescue plan and the Rescuer that would come to save us all.  So far I haven't said anything about who the Rescuer is and every time we read another story, my son expects that this time the story will reveal the identity of 'the Rescuer'.  After reading about Rachel and Leah and God's blessing on Leah, in that 'the Rescuer' would come from her family, we had this conversation:

Me:    "Oh, I wonder when the Rescuer is going to come.  It's taking a really long time."
Him:   "I know when he is going to come."
Me:    "When?"
Him:   "At Christmas.  And I think I know who the Rescuer is."
Me:    "Oh - who is it?"
Him:   "It's God."
Me:    "God's sending the Rescuer..."
Him:   "Yes."
Me:    "God's sending Himself as the Rescuer?"
Him:   "Yes.  God is the Rescuer."
Me:    "Hmm. {slackjawed}  Well I guess we'll have to wait and see."
