Day 2, November 28: Adam and EveGenesis 3:1-7 the first man and woman God created were Adam and Eve and He set them in the Garden of Eden.

Day 4, November 30: Abraham and SarahGenesis 12:1-7 and Hebrews 11:8 The history of God’s chosen people begins with Abraham and Sarah. In faith Abraham obeyed God’s command to leave his home country.

Day 5, December 1: Isaac and RebeccaGenesis 22:1-7 When Abraham was an old man, his faith was finally rewarded with the birth of a son, Isaac. It seemed God’s promise of making him the father of a great nation was to be fulfilled. But then one day God told Abraham to take Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice. Abraham loved his son but he trusted God. At the last moment God stopped him and provided a ram to be sacrificed in Isaac’s place.

Day 6, December 2: Jacob and RachelGenesis 28:10-22 One of Isaac’s sons was Jacob. One day Jacob had a dream. He saw a ladder stretching from earth to heaven with angels going up and down. God told Jacob he would become the father of a great people with a land of their own. From Jacob’s twelve sons came the people of Israel, the people from which Jesus came.
