*every story whispers his name

Lloyd-Jones and Jago have team up to bring a truly inspired gift to the world in this amazing children's Bible. Every story they share through word and art indeed whispers the name of Christ.



An excerpt:

"God looked at everything he had made. "Perfect!" he said. and it was.

But all the stars and the mountains and oceans and galaxies and everything were nothing compared to how much God loved his children. He would move heaven and earth to b near them. Always. Whatever happened, whatever it cost him, he would always love them.

And so it was that this wonderful love story began..."


And understanding that this story is for us and about us is where truth and life begins for each of us.

*belonging to the mission of God

Somtimes we can get lost and think that the mission of God somehow belongs to us as Christians and to us as the church. It is comforting to know that the opposite is actually true. We as Christians, and collectively as the church, belong to the mission of God.

We belong to it. It is not ours. We are its.

In this truth we should find peace and hope beyond measure.
