Of a ll of his sons, J a cob liked J oseph t he best, so his brothers w ere

an d J oseph told him tha t his dream m eant t ha t t here would be 7 years w ith a lot of food a nd 7

years w ith n o food. So the king put J oseph in charge of collecting an d sa ving extra food during

th e first 7 years. Then dur ing th e second 7 year s J osephs brothers h a d to go to Egy pt to get food.

When J oseph sa w th em, he forga ve them a nd ga ve his brothers a nd h is fat her food (G enesis 45).

J osephs fam ily sta yed in Egypt. After J oseph died, the Egyptia ns ma de

th e Isra elites their sla ves. After 430 yea rs t here w ere 2 1/2 million Isra elites in Egy pt. G od then

G od ga ve the Isra elites the Ten Comman dments a t Mt .Sina i. They w ere

w ritt en on tw o stones and w ere the first rules the Isra elites had t o follow. G od a lso gave th em the

plans t o build the ta berna cle and t he Ark of the Covena nt . The ta bernacle w a s a big tent G od told

th em to build. The Ark w a s a w ooden box covered w ith gold. The Isr a elites put t hings in t he box

th a t r eminded them of wha t G od ha d done for t hem (Exodus 2040).

The Isra elites then w ent ba ck towa rd th e la nd G od prom-

ised to Abra ha m, w hich w a s Ca na a n (Deut eronomy 1:64:43). There th ey sent in 12 spies to see

w ha t it w a s like. J oshua a nd Ca leb were the only spies who believed tha t G od w ould give them

back the la nd. When t he Isra elites disobeyed G od a nd decided not to go into th e land, G od ma de

them w a nder in t he w ilderness for 40 yea rs. Everyone who w a s 20 years old or older died during

tha t t ime except Moses, J oshua , and C a leb.

When th e 40 years w ere over, Moses led th e people back to t helan d a ga in. He ma de a long speech, reminding th e people to obey G od, a nd t hen he died. God

ma de J oshua t he new leader. J oshua led the Israeli tes across the J ordan River a nd into Cana an .

They conq uered J ericho, Ai, an d most of the promised lan d of Ca na a n (J oshua 212).

The New Testament

Mary a nd her husba nd J oseph left th eir home in Naza reth beca use

they h a d t o enroll in B ethlehem for a census. While they w ere there, Mar y ga ve birth to baby

J esus, w ho is G od th e Son (Luke 2:1-7).

Some Wise Men went to J erusa lem looking for J esus so they could

w orship Him. When King H erod learned t ha t t he Messiah w ould be born in B ethlehem, Ha rod

directed th e Wise Men to go there. Herod plan ned t o kill J esus beca use th e Wise Men called

J esus the King of the J ews. When Herod could not find J esus, Ha rod had a ll the boys 2 yea rs

old an d younger killed. J oseph w a s wa rned by an a ngel in a drea m, so he fled with h is fa mily to

Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15).

After King H erod died, an a ngel appea red in a dream to J oseph in

Egy pt, telling him t o return to the lan d of Israel (Ma tt hew 2:20). So J oseph, Mar y, an d J esus

w ent ba ck to their home town of Na za reth (Luke 2:39).

When J esus wa s 12 years old, He went w ith J oseph and Mary to

J erusalem. When they w ere on th eir w a y back home to Na za reth, they realized J esus wa snt

w ith th em or their rela tives, so th ey return ed to J erusalem an d found H im teaching in the

Temple (Luke 2:41-52).

When J esus wa s a bout 30 yea rs old, He bega n t o tra vel a roundtea ching people a bout G od. One of the first things J esus did aft er He left h ome wa s to be ba p-

tized by J ohn t he B a ptist in t he J orda n River (Ma tt hew 3:13-17).

G od (th e Holy Spirit) led J esus int o the w ilderness. After 40

days, H e wa s tempted by Sa ta n. One of Sa ta ns temptat ions wa s tha t he w ould give the king-

doms of the world to J esus if J esus would w orship him. J esus said th a t w e are only supposed to

w orship God. Then H e mad e Sa ta n leav e (Ma tt hew 4:1-11).

J esus went back to wh ere J ohn w a s ba ptizing people. There He met

J ohn a nd Andrew w ho were disciples of J ohn the B a ptist . They bega n t o follow J esus. Next,

J esus chose Pet er, P hilip, a nd Na th a niel to be disciples (J ohn 1:35-51). J esus left wit h H is new

disciples a nd w ent to a w edding in Ga lilee. While they w ere there, J esus turned wa ter into

w ine. This is t he first mira cle J esus did t ha ts recorded in th e B ible (J ohn 2:1-11).

J esus and His disciples tra veled back to

J erusalem to celebra te the J ewish holida y called P a ssover. While they w ere there, a ma n na med

Nicodemus, who w a s a J ewish religious leader, ca me to J esus in secret to a sk Him a bout

salvat ion. J esus told Nicodemus that he must be born a gain. Wha t H e mean t w as tha t , even

though Nicodemus w a s a lready born physically, he still ha d t o be saved from his sins. J esus

ca lled t ha t spiritua l birth (J ohn 3:7).

J esus tra veled to a pla ce called P hoenicia. While He wa s

th a t it w a s not just J ews w ho were being hea led but th a t everyone could come to J esus for help

and salvation (Mark 7:24-30).

J esus took some of His d isciples to a huge mount a in. While they w ereth ere, His fa ce beca me bright like the sun a nd His cloth es looked like a bright light . This w a s t he

tra nsfigurat ion. When the disciples sa w this, they underst ood how a w esome God w a s (Mat thew

17:1-13).

At t he beginning of the fourth year of J esus tra veling a round

tea ching a nd hea ling people, He left G a lilee for th e last t ime and headed for J erusalem

(Luke 9:51-56).

While in J erusalem, J esus friend na med Laza rus died and

J esus ra ised him from th e dea d (J ohn 11). Lat er, J esus wa s passing thr ough a city na med J eri-

cho. He sa w a short ma n na med Za ccheus up in a t ree try ing to see J esus in the crowd. WhenJ esus saw him, He told Za ccheus to come dow n from the tr ee. J esus sta yed wit h Zaccheus in his

house, h elping h im to become a believer (Lu ke 19:2-10).

During t he last w eek of J esus life, He rode into J erusalem on a donkey

w hile crowd s of people cheered a nd pra ised Him, la ying pa lm bra nches on t he ground in front of

H im (Ma rk 11:1-11). J esus th en a te supper wit h H is disciples for t he la st t ime before H is dea th .

While ea ting w ith t he disciples, J esus explained t o them how t hey should remember His dea th

by ta king Communion. Soon a fter this, J esus w a s ar rested and crucified (Ma tt hew 2627). His

body w a s placed in a tomb for th ree da ys, then J esus rose from t he dead (Ma tt hew 28).
