Apologetics and little bro-- a profoundly deep yet amazingly simple statement

Hi all! I just was talking to my little brother Matthew and I was looking at my Apologetics speech questions. I asked him if I could ask him one question and he said sure. So I randomly pointed to the question "Did Jesus attain deity by His sacrificial death or was He God from the beginning?" After explaining to him what deity meant, Matthew quickly answered "From the beginning." I asked him why he said that and he (loudly!) exclaimed, "BECAUSE! You couldn't just become God. And you couldn't rise from the dead unless you were already God before you died!" I thought that was pretty impressive as a completely impromptu statement from a ten-year-old. Well, sweet Matthew just asked me if I would ask him more questions. How could you refuse studying things about God when a child wants to?!? So, I'd better go.
