What You Heard In the Word 3 • The Trinity is one God in three Persons— God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. • All were present at creation and at Jesus’ 3 3 baptism.

OutWord For Family Discussion Suppose someone asked you, “Well, I believe God created everything, but Jesus wasn’t even 3 born yet. How could he be there?” How will you answer? Jesus is eternal just like God the Father. The Bible says that he was in the beginning and that he is God. He always was; it’s just that he became a man when he was born.

Justin and Jessie count lots of things that come in threes: three trees, three red cars, three dogs on3 leashes. But3 WHO could be three in one? Find out in “Triceratops & Tricycles.” Go to KidsAnswers.org/jj4 to read the rest of the story 3 and print out this week’s Justin and Jessie coloring sheet.
