SHERRY: Great question, Millie! The Bible is God's Word … His Story.
Who knows what the very first words of the Bible are?
SAM: I do … "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the
earth."
SHERRY: That's right, and He created everything perfect. Adam and Eve
were the first people and right off the bat they sinned against
God. They believed the lies of the enemy. As a result everyone
after them dealt with heartache and suffering.
RYAN: So they messed it up for everyone!
LUCAS: Kinda like giving up a huge lead in the top of the first inning!
SHERRY: Well in a way, but you see God was already putting His game
plan in motion, a plan to destroy the enemy and build up a
nation of people that would be His people. His chosen team so to
speak.
JENNA: And are those the Hall of Faith people …
JAMIE: … in that box?
SHERRY: That's right. You see all of those people and many, many more
have said, "yes" to God. They've listened to Him, believed Him
and they did what He told them to do.
JAKE: Oh, they knocked it out of the ballpark with their faith! Which
reminds me, was your dad really in the Hall of Fame? He was
the first one who knocked the ball through the church window,
right?
SAM: Jake, come on, Miss Sherry is talking about God's Hall of Faith,
now.
SHERRY: Well, yes, all of these people were pointing ahead to Jesus,
because only He could finally win the victory.
MILLIE: He was their designated hitter!
SHERRY: Yes, He was God's plan from the beginning, to come in at that
big moment, of the big inning, of the biggest game, and do what
only He could do!
