God's Biography

GOD’S BIOGRAPHY
Romans 1:16-20
V. 20: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”

Mr. Graham, Jesse and Trevor’s six grade teacher, announced, “Your biography report is due one week from today. Here is the format, everyone: Choose a famous person and write a biography about him or her. Three questions you must address: 1. What did the person say about himself? 2. What did others say about the person? 3. What did the person do?”

“Do your research, and in two pages, double-spaced, report on these three topics. The person’s name and the birth and death dates will be your title. Spelling counts!”

Trevor’s report: Jesus Christ. No beginning, and no end. Revelation 22:13. We celebrate His birth (as a human in year A.D. 0), and Easter—when He rose from the dead—Jesus is timeless.

1. (What Jesus says about Himself) “And God said, ‘Let us make man in Our image…’” Genesis 1:26. (Jesus was with God from the beginning.) “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is there anything too hard for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27. “No one has ever gone into heaven except the One who came from heaven—the Son of Man.” John 3:13. “God is spirit, and His worshippers must worship in spirit and truth.” Jesus said.

The woman said, “I know that the Messiah” (called Christ) is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything.”

Then Jesus declared, “I who speak to you am He.” John 4:24-26.

2. (What others say about Jesus) “In the beginning was the Word, [Jesus] and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God from the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.” John 1:1-3. “Now the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” John 1:14. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16.

3. (What Jesus did) “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty; darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness…” Genesis 1:1.

“Wow!” Jesse exclaimed, “I chose the wrong subject for my biography!”
