The story in children’s words
God gave His people many fair rules for everyday life. No one may steal, and anyone who hurts another person must make it right. God said to take special care of widows, children with no father, poor people, and strangers from other lands. He even said to help your enemy if his donkey falls down under a heavy load. Everyone, even the animals, must rest on the seventh day. Then Jesus told His friends that hard times would come, with wars and people pretending to be Him. But the good news of Jesus will be told to the whole world, and those who hold on to the end will be saved. Jesus will come back, just as He promised.
