Explained for Children

Imagine a big cookie jar filled with cookies. Whenever you're hungry, you can take some cookies from it, but it never gets empty because more cookies keep coming in. That's like the goodness that comes from Jesus - we get lots of good things, and there's always more to come!

Historical Background
