A Walk Full of Questions👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
As I was having my walk with one of my children, he suddenly asked me, “Where was God when He created the heavens and the earth?” To tell the truth, I was a bit lost 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣.
I looked at him and said, “Why are you asking? You’ve been studying religion in school — you should know!”
He smiled and replied, “You’re a Christian too, so you should tell me.”
Then I told him, “That’s a very good question. When God created the heavens and the earth, He was not in a place, because there was no place yet. God Himself created time, space, and everything we see.
Before the beginning, God already existed. He doesn’t live in creation — He is above creation. The Bible says, ‘Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God’ (Psalm 90:2). So, God was in His eternal being — everywhere, powerful, and complete — before He made the heavens and the earth.”
Then he asked again, “Why do people say they will go to heaven to be with Jesus?”🤣🤣🤣
I laughed softly and said, “Who told you Jesus is in heaven?🤣🤣😂😂 Well, you’re right, He is! But let me explain. Jesus came from heaven to earth to save us, and after He finished His mission, He returned to His Father.
He said, ‘In my Father’s house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you’ (John 14:2). That’s why people say we will go to heaven, because Jesus promised that everyone who believes in Him will live forever in His presence.
Heaven is not just ‘up there’; it is the place of God’s glory, peace, and eternal life. And one day, God will unite heaven and earth again — so His people can live with Him forever (Revelation 21:1-4).”
I really enjoyed my walk that day, because my brain was also walking, thinking of how to answer these beautiful, innocent questions.
Children have a special way of reminding us to think deeply about our faith.
What are your thoughts about these questions?
