The Progress of Redemption

Humanity is known for struggling with God. We were created by Him and for Him (Col 1:17), but we cannot fully understand Him. Our generation has a glimpse at who God is and what exactly He is doing through the Bible. The next few pages retell small portions of the Bible through the eyes of children. Some names had to be added as the characters are not all recorded, though most of them are. I am not claiming that these are accurate portrayals of each characters emotions, but only what I imagine they might have been thinking or feeling considering the events they witnessed. My hope is that this shares a glimpse of the ongoing progress of redemption that God is working out for His glory.

Struggling, James


Dear God,

Why me. Why did I have to have the 'perfect' brother? This is so not fair. Every time something bad happens it’s my fault. They don't even ask anymore...I just get in trouble. It's true, I'm the naughty one, but Jesus is human too. How did he get all the good behavior? Even if he would stop being a goody-goody for just one day I wouldn't look so bad. I mean, I want to do what's right, but I'll never live up to the bar he set. If only I were older. And I'm not good at school either. He is - of course. He can already argue with the teacher and I'm just day dreaming in the back. I'd rather work with my hands like Dad than to debate Your word all day. Don't get me wrong, I like Your word, but I'm just not good at memorizing and I'd rather be in the shop. Please help me to be more like Jesus and not get into so much trouble.

Struggling, James (Matt 13:55)
