I want you to listen *carefully* and tell me who the Bible verses are about and why we might be learning them, ok? Listen:
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Isaiah 53:3-4)
*gasp!*
"MOM!" Emperor jumps up like a little frog. "The verses are about FRANKENSTEIN, the creature FRANKENSTEIN made! THAT's why we're reading these verses this week! I didn't know the Bible had Frankenstein it it!?? Can we read the rest of the book and find out what happens to him?"
Um... sure... we... can... finish... Frankenstein. And ummm, Frankenstein's monster was certainly a "man of sorrows" and "rejected of men," but the verses aren't... really... about that...
Elf rolls his eyes. "It's about JESUS. Everyone knows Bible verses are all about JESUS."
"Wellll, yeah," Emperor says defensively. "I just thought maybe Mom was reading from another version besides the King James."
