Jesus was born in a manger not a Kings place, a manger is a place where the animals are kept. His birth place represents the humble beginnings of a servant leader.

The birth of Jesus was significant because the scriptures said that someday God would come in human form, and his people would be saved.

People came to Jesus' birth because they believed he was their saviour and the  "King of the Jews."

" In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." He separated the good from evil, right from wrong. God made humans to lead with him. Humans being Gods image, means overseeing Gods creation as Gods partners and representatives in the world. On day 1; he made light in the darkness. On day 2; He created the sky. On  day 3; Dry land and plants were created. On the fourth day; God created the sun, moon and the stars. On the 5th day he made living creatures. The sixth day saw him create people in his own image. Finally, on the seventh day, he rested.

Doing things our own way instead of God's way.
Sin separates us from God.

God gave us the choice and humans chose the path away from God and sinned, separating us from God.
The sinfulness of Adam and Eve caused a separation from God.

Redemption is God delivering Christians and Humanity from sin.
Redemption is an act of God's grace, when he rescues and restores his people.

When life gets hard we feel like we need a break but what we actually need is Gods redemption. Redemption is God's promise to deliver us from the power of sin.

Recreation is God's promise to save the world and recreate a perfect one where no one will get hurt, have pain, and sin. Everyone will live in harmony. Jesus showed John the promised land. It had angels, and Jesus sitting on a throne, with water pouring out of it. Anyone who drank out of it, would have everlasting life.

Jesus always helped people. He healed people, cared for them, and was a servant leader.

Jesus taught us that we must forgive and his love was endless. He even loved his enemy's when he was on the cross. He never turned away little children. He loved us so much that he died to take our sins.

He performed miracles such as giving sight to the blind, raising the dead, and walking on water. These miracles showed us that what Jesus was saying was true. They also showed us that God's kingdom would have no end, and God loved us.

Scripture: Genesis 2:3

Observation: I observed that God created the earth, then he rested. God made the seventh day holy, so that is why most people go to church on Sunday . God created us to represent him.

Application: After working and/or playing, I should rest and on Sundays, go to church. I should also thank and respect God.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Thankyou for creating an amazing world. Please help the people who's home's got destroyed by the floods and to rebuild and help one another.
Amen

Jesus died for his people and took all our sins so we would not have to die. He showed us the holy way.

Jesus loved his enemies. He was an innocent man who died a death of a rebel, even though he had never sinned. I felt sad and angry because Jesus died for our sins and he was innocent.

Jesus was sad as he rode in because he knew what would come ahead, he already knew he wouldn't be accepted as king, he already knew rebellion would continue. He already knew his path would lead to death.

Pilate sees Jesus is innocent handed over instead of guilty

The Crucifixion
"You're a king are you? You need a crown and a robe." They taunted. As they put a crown of thorns on his head. They didn't understand Jesus was king to save them.
He was nailed to a cross. "Father forgive them, they don't know what their doing." He could have climbed down if he wanted to. He could have even said one word and it would all be over. Love kept Jesus there. He loved his enemy's to the end. "It is finished, Father, I give you my life." Jesus said. He had rescued the whole world. He let himself die. When he died, the earth trembled, Rocks split, Sky darkened. Full force of God's anger was coming down.

Uses symbols;
Bread = body
wine=blood
Holy week= Passover

Jesus died so humanity could be saved. He died so we could live in peace and be free. He showed us that we don't have to be afraid of death. Jesus died to take our sins away. Jesus' Death was part of Gods plan to save Humanity.

Resurrection means Jesus came back to life from the dead.

God sent an earthquake and angels from heaven , As the first specks of dawn crossed the land, Mary went to Jesus's tomb. Suddenly, she noticed something odd. The stone covering the tomb was gone! Mary ran inside. She realised that the body was gone as well! An Angel said to Mary, "Don't be scared, what are you doing here? Jesus is alive again." Mary heard someone in the garden." I can't find Jesus! She said to the Gardner. Mary turned around. She saw Jesus. " Go tell others I am alive." He told her. Mary ran to tell the others.

Jesus was alive!

I think some of the things that God's children can look forward to are no sadness and a world where everyone can be happy. I think Heaven is similar to the garden of Eden because they were both living in peace and Harmony. Another example is; that we would be connected to God and be living truthfully with him.

Scripture: Genesis 4: 7

Observation: If we do what God says is right we will be accepted, if we do what we think is right we may not be accepted for sin is wating at our door, and we will be slaves to sin. Sometimes it is hard to ignore the voice telling us to do the wrong thing, but God shows us a way to do the right and true thing.

Application: I can ignore sin's voice, I can also ask myself, would God want me to do this? Humans try to justify bad decisions with good ones.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Please guide me to do what you would do in whatever situation I am in. Thankyou for sending your son down to earth to take our sins.
Amen

' He committed no sin, yet he carried our sin, so we would have eternal life.'

Scripture: Matthew 27:32-66

Observation:
In this verse I realised Jesus chose to die, he loved his enemies so much. That is why he stayed on the cross to take our sins.  He saved the world by dying for us.

Application:
I can always be thankful for what Jesus did for us. It must have been so hard for Jesus. Finally, I can pray to God and thank him for taking our sins.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Thankyou for sending your son to die for our sins. Please help me to realise how valuable this is to me.
Amen.

The Bible is used by Christians to give them guidance about how they can live their their lives in the way God would want them to. The Bible also tells us of our sin and God's salvation plan.

# data[].attributes.body
The Bible is considered historical because there are many places that Jesus visited, such as Jerusalem & King Solomon's Temple which still exist today. These places, or the ruins of these places described in the Bible have been discovered.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many different ways to read the Bible, and no way is the wrong way.

Some suggestions for new Bible readers, that the best order to read the Bible, is to start with the books that give an overview of the main themes and storylines. Some examples of that are Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel,1 Kings,2 Kings, Ezra.

Others suggest to use S.O.A.P. Study to analyse God's meanings, and to consider struggles, celebrations and prayers.

My favourite is to ask God for directions because I can always rely on him, but sometimes I just like to randomly open it up and choose something to read.

The Prophets contributed to the Bible by receiving directions from God to help people navigate challenging and tough situations. Prophets were sent to guide people to the light of true understanding, and make peace with everyone. They were also sent to make way for God's son.(Jesus)
