AFTER taking a careful look at our front page, you will probably decide that the children’s father has been painting a picture.
While he was away the children took the paint-brush and paints, and are having a good time adding something to the picture.
But what do you think Father will say when he comes back and sees what they have done? Can’t you just hear him saying,
“Children, you’ve spoiled my picture. I’ll have to do it all over again.”
Many, many years ago, God made this earth and the trees and flowers and animals. You can read all about it in the first chapter of the Bible.
The 31St verse of Genesis 1, says, “And God saw everything that He had made, and behold it was very good.”
Then God planted a very beautiful garden, called the “Garden of Eden.”
He put Adam and Eve in this garden, and told them what they might do and what they might not do. But they disobeyed God and sinned.
Then came sorrow and suffering as a result of sin, and God’s beautiful work was spoiled, just like the painting in our picture today.
So God will make a new earth where there will be no sin.
