Long ago, God spoke to a man named Abram. Later God gave him a new name, Abraham. God said, “Leave your home and go to a land I will show you.”
God made Abram big promises. “I will bless you. I will make your family into a great nation. And through you, all the families on earth will be blessed!”
So Abram packed up and went, with his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot. Many years later, Jesus was born into Abraham's family. Jesus is the blessing for every family on earth, including yours!
