You just had a
pancake Mathew.
Wait for sometime,
and we will have lunch together.
But I'm hungry..
I wanna eat something now!
You're always hungry.
You want to eat all the time.
What about the sheep's then?
Why do they get to eat all the time?
He's tired Lucy
We've been walking for a long time.
Lets rest here for sometime.
Lets sit down here then.
And Mathew,
here's an apple for you.
Hey
look at that cloud.
Doesn't it look like Jimmy?
You're right!
What is that?
Wow,
its a rainbow!
Wow,
its so beautiful!
I wonder who created this lovely rainbow.
And who could have
created this
beautiful sky?
And these mountains,
and everything that we see around us!
Do you know George?
I don't know Lucy,
Hey look
Fr. John is here!
Lets go and ask him.
Hello little one!
How have you been?
Oh Jimmy,
you're here too!
Good day father!
It is a lovely day indeed children.
Father,
can you tell us who created this world?
Is it God?
Yes children.
Our great God
created everything
that you see around.
You can read all about it
in the Bible.
Can you tell us what the Bible says father?
Oh yes!
Do you want to hear the story of
how God
created this world?
Come children,
sit down.
I'll tell you the story
of how God created
this wonderful world.
In the beginning,
God created the Heavens and the Earth.
The Earth had no shape
and was empty.
Darkness covered the Earth
and God moved over the water,
and God said
Let there be light.
I will call the light,
Day.
And I will call the dark,
Night.
Now, let the water below
and the water above
be separated.
I will call this space,
Sky.
Let the waters below the sky
all beat in one place.
And let dry land appear.
I will call the dry land,
Earth.
Now,
let the land produce all kinds of plants
and trees.
God was very happy with the work he had done so far.
But He still had a lot more work to do.
I will make the sun and moon,
and stars in the sky.
They will separate the Day from the Night.
To show the seasons and also light the night sky.
Now,
let the waters be filled
with living creatures.
And, let the herds
fly across the Earth.
On the sixth day,
God made all the animals.
Let the land produce every kind of living animal.
There will be domestic
and wild animals,
both large and small.
And each will be able
to reproduce its kind.
Let us make people.
They will be in our image,
just like us.
Then, God made a human being.
A man who was like himself.
God put the man in charge of
all the fish and birds and animals he had made.
Let people rule over the fish in the sea,
the birds in the air,
and the animals
on the land,
and all creatures
that move on the ground.
Finally,
God finished his work.
He was very happy.
So, on the seventh day
he had a rest.
Adam.
Uh?
Do you know who I am?
I think so.
You are the maker of everything.
Come with me, Adam.
There are things we have to do.
And things I want to show you.
You are in charge of all the animals and plants.
They are for you to look after.
You are free to eat from
from any tree in the garden,
but, you cannot eat from the tree
that gives knowledge of what is good and
what is evil.
IF you eat this fruit
you will die.
Adam,
what will you call this one?
Lion,
I will call him Lion.
These animals
are yours to look after,
you must name them all.
Adam,
you have done well.
But, now every male animal
has a female mate
except you
It is not good for you to live alone,
so I will make a female partner for you.
Go to sleep.
And when you wake up,
you too
will have a female partner.
While Adam was asleep,
God took a rib from his side
and made him a female partner.
My female partner
have been taken from my own flesh and bone.
I will call her woman,
because she was taken out of man.
You may eat the fruit of any tree
except this one.
God said that if we eat its fruit, we will die.
But when Adam was away
Satan decided to approach Eve
to tempt her
What about
that tree?
The fruit over there
looks very tasty.
God said
that we cannot eat from that tree,
or even touch it.
He said
that we can eat the fruit
of any tree in the garden
except that one.
If we do eat from that tree,
we will die ,
Did God say that?
You will not die.
God knows that
when you eat from the fruit of that tree,
you will be just like Him.
Your eyes will be opened,
and you will know
the difference between good and evil.
And Satan who appeared in front Eve,
started tempting her slowly and slowly.
He lured her to the tree
and was about to tempt her to eat it.
God said, no.
That is because God does not
want you to be the same as Him.
The fruit will do that.
It will make you great
and powerful,
just
like him.
Woman,
where are you?
Eve gave the fruit to Adam,
and when Adam ate the fruit,
he committed the sin too.
Once they ate the fruit,
they realized they were naked,
they covered their body with leaves.
Adam,
where are you?
I'm here, I'm here.
I heard you in the garden,
and I'm hiding
because I'm naked.
Who told you that you were naked?
Have you eaten from the tree
that I commanded you not to eat from?
Well woman gave me some of the fruit to eat,
and I ate it.
Woman,
what have you done?
The Serpent tricked me into eating the fruit.
You will be punished
and cursed for tricking
man and woman.
You will crawl on your belly
and eat dust forever.
You will be the lowest among the animals.
You and people will be enemies forever.
Woman,
giving birth to children
will be more painful
because of what you have done.
Your husband will also rule over you.
Adam,
I am most disappointed with you.
You listened to the woman instead of me.
I commanded
that you do not eat fruit from that tree, but you did.
but you did.
You will have to work hard all your life
to produce enough food for your family.
Thorns and weeds will grow in the fields
and only through sweat and painful work,
will you produce food for your family.
Finally,
you die
and return to the ground you came from,
you came from the dust
and to the dust
you will return.
Woman,
I will name you,
Eve.
Because
you will be the Mother of all people.
The people have become like us,
with the knowledge of everything that is good and evil.
They cannot eat from the tree of life
and live forever.
I will send them away
from the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve were clothed by God
and shut out of the bliss and glory of Paradise,
to live in the wilderness.
God decided to guard both the entrance to the garden
and the way to the tree of life,
so he commanded Cherebeum to guard the entrance,
and a flaming sword that turns this way and that,
to the way of the tree of life.
Adam and Eve had to learn to live without God's close help.
They planted seed and waited for the grain and fruit to grow.
They built a house to protect them from the heat
and the rain.
Then, Eve had a baby boy.
And they called him,
Cain,
Later,
Eve had another son
and she called him,
Abel
He also grew strong,
but instead of working in the fields,
he became a shepherd.
The looked after the animals That
Adam and Eve had kept for milk and wool.
Finally,
everything seemed to be going well.
Both sons washed
and prepared their food.
Hi Cain,
what are you doing with all that food?
Some is for dinner
and some is for God.
now, that's a very good idea.
And, just what God would like you to do.
Hey,
are you bringing in another lamb, son?
No, Father.
I'm going to offer this lamb to God.
I know it will please him,
it is the best lamb we have.
You know,
we have two good sons.
They have both taken the best of their efforts to give to God.
It will surely make God happy.
The boys are at home now,
preparing the food.
All will be well.
Why should God get all the best fruit
and vegetables?
Surely He would not resent us having some.
This fruit took me months to grow.
Are we having lamb for dinner, little brother?
No, Cain.
I'm preparing it for God.
It is my best young lamb
Why do you copy me,
I've collected the best of my harvest to give to God.
You give him your offering another time.
Let me have the honor this time.
I can't do that, Cain.
The meat must be prepared straight away,
otherwise it will go bad.
I think God will be happy to get both offerings.
That way God can have it all.
All right then.
But I think God would prefer my offering.
Abel wanted to give his best young lamb to God,
but Cain did not want God to have all the best crops.
and god accepted Abel 'S offering
Cain,
why are you angry?
Why do you only stare at the ground?
You will be accepted by me
if you do what is right.
But, if you do wrong,
sin is waiting to destroy you.
You must learn to overcome the sin
in your life.
But Abel could not control his anger,
and was about to commit a sin.
Abel,
Abel.
Come on,
I have something to show you in the fields.
What is it,
what's wrong?
Come quietly,
don't wake Mother and Father.
Come and I will show you.
Cain?
Cain?
Cain?
Cain?
Where are you?
Cain?
Cain?
Not so easy, is it?
Growing all this food for the family.
Not like just sitting on a hillside watching some sheep and goats.
This takes hard work;
it's worth much more than your lambs
Cain, where are you?
Oh no,
what have I done.
Cain,
where is your brother, Abel?
I don't know,
do I have to take care of my brother all the time?
Cain.
What have you done?
Listen,
your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
Now
you are under a curse
God,
This ground is soaked with your brother's blood.
You'll no longer be able to grow
plentiful crops in the ground.
You will be a homeless wanderer
for the rest of your life.
God, your punishment is more than I can accept.
You're driving me from my land and family.
I'll be hated from your presence,
I will wander for the rest of my life,
never finding rest,
and anyone who finds me will kill me.
Cain.
No one will harm,
I will put a mark on you.
Anyone who kills you
will suffer your punishment
seven times over.
Cain left Adam and Eve
and the presence of God.
He wandered to the land of
He took a wife
and she gave birth
to a son,
and they named him
Enoch,
and he built a city
and called it
after his son.
Meanwhile,
Adam and Eve
had another son,
they named, Seth.
They said
God has given us this child in place of
Abel,
who was killed by Cain.
Some of the people in this time
began to worship God.
Adam
and Eve
lived to a very great age,
and
they had many more children,
who also had their own families.
So,
the population of the Earth
increased quickly.
So children,
did you all enjoy the story?
Yes father!
That's great!
So tomorrow
I'll tell you another story from the Bible.
In our next story from the Bible,
we will see and hear
how the world became a bad place to live in.
Finally,
God could only trust one man
and his family
to help start the world again.
This is the story of NOAH
and the ARK
I'll meet you again tomorrow!
Bye Father!
Good bye dears!
