The story of mankind

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. God created man in his own image. He created male and female, Adam and Eve. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because he rested on it from all the work of creating that he had done.

The LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The LORD God brought all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air to the man to see what he would name them. It was the first mission that God gave to the man. Whatever the man called each living creature, which was its name since then.

God so loved the man and the woman that he let them rule over all the creatures that move along the ground. God gave everything they need. However God said, “You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.” It was the first promise that God and man made. However, the man and the woman broke the promise with God. God drove them out and said, “You will eat of it all the days of your life through painful toil.”

The Man and the woman driven out of Eden by God multiplied greatly and became a big family. They wanted to build a city with tower called Babel to make a name for them. The LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, “If they have begun to do this because they are one people and they speak the same language, then nothing (that) they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” The LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth from there.

The story of Abraham’s family

However God decided to have God’s people against others and chose Abram for his purpose. The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.”

Descendants came as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore so from this one man, as God made the promise to Abraham. Abraham became the father of Ishmael and Isaac. Isaac also had two sons; Jacob and Esau. Jacob became the father of 12 sons who were the twelve tribes of Israel. The 11th son Joseph became the prime minister of Egypt later and Jacob’s family moved to Egypt. They all had stayed in Egypt for 400 years since then.

The history of Israel

When a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt, the people of Israel became slaves. So, the whole Israelite community set out from Egypt, traveling from place to place as the LORD commanded. After the death of Moses, the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua, “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them–to the Israelites.”

Joshua and his people entered the Promised Land. In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit. The elders of Israel wanted to make David their king. David had a son named Solomon who was called the king of wisdom. God replied to his pray and said, “I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.”

The Kingdom of Israel was divided apart into two kingdoms, The South Judah and the North Israel. When the North Kingdom Israel was attacked by Assyria, Hezekiah king of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria: “I have done wrong. Withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand of me.” The king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. The South Kingdom Judah had survived for another 140 years since then.

Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. I said, ‘Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrew who has sold himself to you. After he has served you six years, you must let him go free.’ Your fathers, however, did not listen to me or pay attention to me. Jeremiah had said, “All your wives and children will be brought out to the Babylonians. You yourself will not escape from their hands but will be captured by the king of Babylon; and this city will be burned down.” His prophecy was fulfilled.


Cyrus king of Persia that had overtaken Babylon sent Nehemiah to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Although the wall was rebuilt and completed, the people Israel had to spend another 400 years under the rules of Greece, Egypt and finally Rome.

The story of Jesus Christ

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea during the time of King Herod. Jesus said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.”

When Jesus was twelve years old, his family went up to the Feast in Jerusalem, After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

Before Jesus started to teach people, he was led by the Sprit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Jesus must have performed many miraculous signs but twenty nine of them are written in the Bible. Jesus performed the first of his miraculous signs by his mother’s request. Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” Jesus replied, “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” and said, “My time has not yet come.” Anyway He made water turn into wine for the wedding banquet. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

Now Jesus became famous. There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. This was the first lecture recorded in the bible.

Many people wanted to become his students but Jesus said, “Any of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciple.” Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. “Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Jesus gave many lectures since then. The first public lecture of Jesus was called the Sermon on the Mount. There he taught a lot of things and finally he said, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.


One day Jesus was teaching a large crowd. When it became late in the day and they have only five loaves of bread and two fish, Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people.

Jesus taught people for three years. When his mission was about to end, he and his disciples went to Jerusalem. As they approached Jerusalem and Jesus sent two disciples saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.” Jesus sat on them and entered Jerusalem.

At night before Jesus died, they had the last supper. After he taught the disciples many things at the table, he finally said, “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.”

The next day came and Jesus died upon the cross. Anyone will very rarely die for a righteous man, though someone might possibly dare to die for a good man. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

When the day of Pentecost came, the disciples were all together in one place. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. The disciples had started to preach the teachings of Jesus since then.

Jesus opposed the proud and said, “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Jesus also said, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” He taught us not to worry but to pray, as Daniel got down on his knees and prayed three times a day, giving thanks to his God.

Jesus said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Jesus finally said to us, “Go into the entire world and preach the good news to all creation.”
