In the Beginning. . .Jesus

In the Beginning. . .Jesus was written to help children understand the “big picture” of the Bible. It has been designed to help children see that the focus of the Bible is the Person and work of Jesus. The Bible is God's story from beginning to end and Jesus is the key to understanding the story. The study goes to the beginning of the Bible narrative in Genesis and then moves chronologically through the Old Testament text leading up to the coming of Jesus and His redemptive work on the cross.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross. (Colossians 1:15-20)
