When we teach children, we tend to simplify things. When we teach children about God, we want them to understand the truths we are communicating on their level in a way that is comforting, helpful, and life-giving for them. Today, I would like to propose that we use the “big words” of our faith when we teach our kids, preteens, and teenagers, whether that be in the home, in the church, or in a school setting. When it comes to terms like justification, sanctification, absolution, incarnation, Law, Gospel, atonement, resurrection, ascension, and so on, which ones have you taken the time to use and define with the young people in your life? Math is a great example of an area where we teach the big words of the field early. We might start by teaching our kids that they can either “combine two groups of things together so they have more” or “take things away so they have less,” but we very quickly give them the terms for these operations. We teach them that they are doing addition when they put things together and subtraction when they take things away. This precision equips them to communicate with others and dispels confusion. By giving them technical terms and precise definitions as they grow in their knowledge of the subject, we also communicate to children that math is something significant that has been around for a long time, that there is more to know as they get older, that they will be studying it for years, and that they will understand it more and more fully as they go.
