Zac Poonen - For Children: God's Love And Justice Are Both Seen At The Cross.
Summary
Jesus taught that true understanding of God's truths is accessible to simple children, not just the clever or intelligent. The sermon emphasizes that sin, no matter how small, separates a person from God, and therefore, God's justice requires accountability. Ultimately, while God's love is immense, His justice means that one cannot simply overlook wrongdoing, as demonstrated by the need for proper grading in an exam.
Description
Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: For Children: God's Love And Justice Are Both Seen At The Cross. Date: 01/09/2022 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Zac Poonen · Apr 5, 2026
Zac Poonen explains to children why God cannot simply forgive everyone without justice, using the analogy of a teacher grading two students with different results. He then illustrates God's justice and love through the concept of substitution—Jesus taking our punishment on the cross—using relatable stories about family members and twin brothers taking one another's place to help children understand Christ's sacrifice and the call to live a clean life in response to that grace.
