The Ball and the Cross

Okay kiddo, have you ever played with a ball before? Great! And have you ever seen a picture of a cross? Good! The ball and the cross are two things that are often used to explain something bigger than them.

The ball represents our world, or the universe we live in. The cross represents God, or a higher power that some people believe in. Now, imagine that the ball and the cross are two separate things.

Sometimes people say that the ball and the cross are connected because God created the world and is in charge of it. That's like saying that the person who made the ball is in charge of how it's used. But some people believe that the ball and the cross don't really have anything to do with each other.

Either way, the ball and the cross are two things that people use to talk about big ideas like creation, power, and existence. Does that make sense, little one?
