THE CRUCIFIX

   In the minds of young children, Santa Claus can fly.
   Through the eyes of young children, do they see the crucifix of Jesus as a dead man?
   To young children, which one is alive?
   Is the crucifix on the wall a reminder to young children that Jesus is still dead?
      "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices they had prepared, and certain others with them.  And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.  And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
      "And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:  and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, 'Why seek ye the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen'."  (Luke 24: 1-6)
   If young children see Jesus on the wall as a dead man, what do parents believe?
