First of all, a long time ago, God made everything. He made the sky, and he made the earth. He made all the things that are everywhere.
Even though we can’t see God, we can know about him. If we look at the things he has made, we can know about him, that he is really great and really strong. Ever since he made the world, we can look at everything that he made, and we can know about him from those things. So nobody can say that they don’t know about God.
You see, our bodies are important to God. Our leader, Jesus died, but then God made him alive again. And God will use his power to make our bodies alive again too.
God says, “Stop, you mob. Keep still, and think, and you will know that I am the only one that really is God. The people in every nation will respect me. People all over the world will respect me.”
God will bring Jesus back at the right time. God is the only really big boss. He is the really big boss over everybody. He is the really big boss over all other big bosses. He is the biggest boss over every other boss.He is the only one that never dies, but he goes on and on for ever. He lives in light that is so bright that nobody can go near him. Nobody ever saw him, and nobody can see him now. We have to really respect him all the time, and we have to remember that he is really powerful. Yes, that’s right.
So as we think about all of this, what do we learn? It is this. We are on God’s side. He is with us, so it doesn’t matter who is against us, they can’t win against God.
God used the Word to make everything. God and the Word worked together, and they made everything, everywhere.
God is strong, and he is always ready to help us when we get trouble. He is like a safe place for us to hide. Whenever we get trouble, he is the one that can help us.
God is great and powerful, so remember that you are not important at all. Wait for him, and at the right time, he will get everybody to respect you.
We have to thank God now. His power works in us, and he does really great things. He can do a lot more than we can ask him for. He can even do more than we can think about. And we are God’s people. We are his church. So we always have to praise God and show everyone that he is very great and good. We have to show them what Jesus Christ does, and that he is really great. And we have to keep on doing it for ever and ever. Yes, that’s right.
Then Jesus said to them, “God, my father, has made me boss over everything now. I’m boss over everything up in heaven. And I’m boss over everything down here on the earth.
I’m telling you, nothing is too hard for me. I am God, and my name is Yahweh. Just like I said, at this time next year, I will come back, and Sarah will have a baby boy.”
He was there at first, before anything else, and now he holds everything together, everything everywhere, and he keeps it all working properly.
God always does everything that he plans. And a long time ago, he picked us, and planned to join us to Jesus Christ and make us his people.
And we know too that God picked us out to be his people, to love him and to do whatever he wants, so he makes everything work out good for us.
Yes, he is the really strong one, and he did great things for me. God is properly good, better than anyone else.
Sometimes you will want to do bad things and you will find it hard to stop yourself, but remember that other people find it hard to stop themselves from doing bad things too. And remember this, God wants to help you. He will show you a way to stop yourself from going wrong, and he will help you to go the right way.
God’s spirit in us doesn’t make us frightened, but he helps us be strong so that we do great things, and he helps us love people, and he helps us control ourselves.
