I have a great appreciation for parents or anyone who works with children in ministry.

How do you handle these kinds of questions about Jesus?

i think that i would spend less time tiptoeing around and just answer the kid's questions as simply as possible, or better yet, as THEM why they think it is. yep. i think that's what i would do.
Kids do have the craziest views sometimes, but I love the honesty and unfiltered inquisitive nature they bring.
Let's face it, adults still have similar thoughts, they're just couched in more rhetoric and self-justification (with a few flashy academic terms for boot).
As CircularReason points out, Jesus came to die, and he came to live a human life up to the point that he died. Therefore, he couldn't come surrounded with glory and commanding angels to slay his enemies. On the other hand, if you show a child what it says in the Bible, only the Gospel of Matthew recounts the story of King Herod. Mark doesn't go that far back. Luke doesn't mention Herod, and far from saying the parents took baby Jesus to Egypt, recounts that they presented him at the Temple in Jerusalem, then took him straight home to Nazareth. John isn't on that page at all, skipping from in the beginning was the Word, to the Word was made flesh, to the preaching of John the Baptist, when John and Jesus were both adults. So maybe we shouldn't worry too much about King Herod, and focus on the Word made flesh.
but for his love one has the love for the children.
They need much patience to whosoever is leading them else he or she will be discouraged.
