"All
About Jesus" Bible Study For Kids
Introduction &
Lesson #1
The Bible is a very
important book and that you probably have heard of
before. You may know a little about the Bible,
nothing about the Bible or a whole lot about the
Bible. Our Bible study is going to assume that you
know nothing about the Bible and we are going to
study together about this amazing book.
For our study, we
suggest that you have a few items handy. First of
all, it's a great idea to have a Bible with you. If
you do not own a Bible and would like to purchase
one, check
these resources. If you prefer, you can
open up an online Bible right here on
the web and study along.
Our studies together are
going to include reference sheets, study pages and
other printables. These sheets are designed to fit
into a 3 ring binder which you can buy anywhere.
That's all you need to
study with us!
If you are ready, then let's
get started!!!
Did you know that Jesus
loves you and has a plan for YOU! He cares about every
part of your life and what you do everyday. By studying
with us, you will learn about God's plan for you. You
will learn that God has a plan for every person on the
planet, he has a plan for the nation of Israel, and a
plan for giving forgiveness and eternal life.
Before
we study together today, let's say a prayer that God will
help us understand
what he is trying to teach us with His word, The Bible.
Our Adventure Begins!
The Bible is the most
exciting book in the whole world. You may be amazed
to learn that in the Bible are stories of narrow
escapes from an enemies sword, the creation of the
whole universe, fire from the sky, and the parting of
an entire sea. There are stories of evil kings,
angels with powers to open prison doors and the most
important story of all - the story of a little baby
born in a manger. You will be fascinated to read
about this little baby who was the most important
person to ever live and who wants to get to know you
and change your whole life.
The Bible is full of
exciting stories and they are all true - not fiction.
The Bible is a historical document and even though it
is very old it is still important today. The Bible
contains so much information to help you live a
wonderful life. The Bible is full of advice, poetry
and so much more. The most important part of the
Bible though is the Big Promise that you will find
throughout the entire Bible.
In the Old Testament,
the promise was that a saviour for man was coming.
In the New Testament,
the promise was that a saviour had come.
How Does the Bible All Fit
Together?
First of all, the Bible
is divided into 2 main parts, The Old Testament and
the New Testament. The Old Testament is made up of 39
smaller books and the New Testament is made up of 27
smaller books.
Each book in the Bible
is also divided into chapters and verses. It is
really easy to look up a verse in the Bible. For
example:
John 3:16 is found in
the book of John, in the 3rd chapter and the 16th
verse.
The Old Testament
The old testament is the
first part of the 2 main parts of the Bible. The Old
Testament is filled with the promise of a coming
saviour for mankind. You will find this promise
everywhere!
The Old Testament is
divided into 39 smaller books. The first 5 books in
the Old Testament are called the "Books of the
Law."
"Books of the Law"
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
The first 5 books are
very exciting books. By studying these 5 books, we
will learn how God created the universe. We will also
learn how God created a special nation - a nation
that God called His own. We will read a very excting
story how God took His people out of slavery, brought
them through the Red Sea, fed them food from the sky
and water from rocks. We will learn in these first 5
books how God asked His people to obey His laws and
how over and over again, His people disobeyed Him.
The most important thing we will learn together is
the Books of the Law is that God made a promise to
man to make all things right again.
The next 12 books in the
Old Testament are called the Books of History.
"The Books of
History"
Joshua
Judges
Ruth
First Samuel
Second Samuel
First Kings
Second Kings
First Chronicles
Second Chronicles
Ezra
Nehemiah
Esther
The History Books of the
Old Testament contain the story of how God created
His special nation, Israel. We will read and learn
together about how God gave His people a new homeland
and how he treated His people so nicely. God loved
His nation and He helped them is many ways. God
helped them pick their kings and even helped them win
battles against their enemies. Sadly we will also
learn how God's people were not appreciative of all
He did for them. God's people forgot about Him and
they did what they wanted instead of what God desired
them to do. God's special nation is broken into 2
halves and then taken away by their enemies. But God
loved His people even though they forgot about Him.
When God's people are taken away by their enemies,
the only hope they have is the promise God makes to
them. God promises to give them back their nation and
to send them the greatest king they have ever known.
After the History books
of the Old Testament come the Books of Poetry.
"The Books of
Poetry"
Job
Psalms
Proverbs
Ecclesiastes
Song of Solomon
The poetry books in the
Bible describe how wonderful and majestic God is. In
these books, we will receive advice on how to live
our lives. Once again, the promise that God will send
a saviour for man is also found in these books.
The last part of the Old
Testament contains the books of the prophets.
Books of Major
Prohets
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Lamentations
Ezekiel
Daniel
Books
of Minor Prophets
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Prophets were
messengers of God. God communicated to Israel, His
nation, through these special messengers. Sometimes
God used the prophets to warn his people that they
should be obedient. God also used His prophets to
tell His people about the promise of the coming king.
The New Testament
The New Testament is the
second of the 2 main parts of the Bible. The New
Testament is very exciting because we learn how God
keeps His promise to the nation of Israel, and to us.
Men who were alive and saw God's promise come true
tell us all about what happened.
The first 4 books of the
New Testament are called the Gospels.
The
Gospels
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
In the 4 books of the
Gospel, we will learn about the birth of Jesus. Jesus
was the Saviour that God had promised the world. We
will learn together about the life of Jesus and the
miracles that He performed. Most importantly, we will
read about what Jesus did on the cross for you and me
and how this made God's promise come true. We will
also learn that Jesus came back from death and is in
Heaven today preparing an eternal home for us. You
will be thrilled to learn that Jesus will also come
back to earth someday!
In the book of Acts, you
will learn about the History of the church and read
about many miracles.
History
Acts
The New Testament
contains many letters written by Paul.
Paul is one of the most
interesting people in the New Testament. In the
beginning of Paul's life, he did not like Jesus. He
hated people who believed in Him and he wanted to
kill them. In a major display of God's power, Paul
becomes one of Jesus' best servants. Paul went around
to many places and started many different churches.
Paul wrote letters to these churches and gave them
instructions on their behavior and what God wanted
them to believe. Paul also wrote many letters to
individuals during this time.
Paul was not the only
person to write letters about Jesus during this time
in history. Many other believers in Jesus wrote
letters about Jesus. These letters were written to
encourage and help the new believers in Jesus.
Believing in Jesus during this period of history was
not easy and sometimes people were killed for this
belief. These letters helped the believers to stand
strong in their new faith.
General
Letters
Hebrews
James
1 Peter
2 Peter
1 John
2 John
3 John
Jude
The last book of the
Bible is written by a many whom Jesus loved very much.
Prophecy
Revelation
The very last book in
God's word, the Bible is called Revelation. A man
named John wrote this book. John was one of Jesus'
disciples. God "revealed" to John part of
the future of the world. God showed John many things
that would happen at the end of time when Jesus
returns to earth. John wrote about what God showed
him. Someday, Jesus will come back to earth and every
person will know that Jesus is the greatest King ever!
