You children love your fathers and mothers very much; you like to go on their messages, and to do what you can to help them, do you not? The Lord Jesus loved to do God's will, and to carry out all His Father gave Him to do.
And what do you think God did give Him to do? Perhaps you have begun to guess!
God His Father gave Him the wonderful work of making our earth, and preparing it all for us to live on!
It says in the Bible "All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made."
So the first thing that happened when God began to prepare this earth for men to live on, was that God's Spirit came and "brooded" over the dark waters that covered the earth.
You wonder what that means? Perhaps you have seen a hen sitting day after day on the nest of eggs, and "brooding" over them till they get warmth and life?
Well, that is what the word means! God's Holy Spirit came near our earth, and surrounded it with His warmth and love.
And then God said, "Let there be light!" or "Let the light come!"
And lo! Instead of the dark waters and deep shadow, there came a shining over the earth; and God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
Next to the day and night, God made the air and the sky and the clouds. And He told the sea to stay where it was, and the sky to stay above the earth, and He called the sky Heaven.
