Who Came First?

Wording of this Handout:

---

Who Came First?
Can you arrange the following names in the correct order in time?
MOSES
JESUS
ABRAHAM
MARY
ADAM

The correct order is:
JESUS, ADAM, ABRAHAM, MOSES, MARY

But you might say, "I thought Jesus was born 2000 years ago. He must have come after Mary his mother???!!!"
No, Jesus was the one who created Adam. From Adam came many children, and after many years one of them was Abraham, and after more generations came Moses, and then finally Mary, who gave birth to Jesus. Strange but true.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE GOD TO MAKE THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING ON IT?
Six days
Not six minutes, or six seconds, or six thousand years, and not six million years. Just six ordinary days.

How do we know?

1. The Bible says so (Genesis 1)
2. The Bible says each day had one morning and one evening.
3. God told the people of Israel to base their week on the six days of creation. Six days of work, and one day of rest.
4. Jesus accepted the story of six days without question.

Which came first : the Mum and Dad or the baby?

The Mum and Dad of course, otherwise there couldn't be a baby!
The Bible says God created Adam and Eve first, and then they had a baby.
