In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. This powerful act of creation was the start of a grand narrative filled with purpose and promise. As we delve into the New Testament, we see this promise being fulfilled through the life and work of Jesus Christ. Through these four chapters, we explore the grand story of creation, fall, and redemption as revealed in the New Testament. This Storybook not only connects the historical narratives of Luke and Acts but also invites each reader to find their place within God’s ongoing story. Embrace the adventure, and remember that you are a vital part of this narrative!

God describes David as “a man after My own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22). That does not mean that he was blameless. We only need to read 2 Samuel 11 to see that David has fallen very low: he took the wife of one of his generals, Bathsheba, because she was very beautiful. When Bathsheba turned out to be pregnant, David called her husband Uriah home from the battle field hoping he would sleep with her. That would “solve” the problem of Bathsheba’s pregnancy. But Uriah didn’t go home, not even when made drunk, so David sent him back to the battle field with a letter ordering his death. After Uriah’s death, David married Bathsheba. The description of this whole story ends with a clear comment: “the thing that David had done displeased the Lord” (2 Samuel 11:27). God didn’t let David get away with this. He confronted him with his sin, and David repented. Psalm 51 gives us an intimate glimpse of his emotions:

1️⃣ Di sebuah kota kecil yang tenang, hiduplah seorang anak bernama Dzaki. Setiap hari, ia selalu menatap ke langit, memperhatikan pesawat terbang tinggi di antara awan. 2️⃣ "Suatu hari nanti, aku juga akan terbang!" kata Dzaki dengan senyuman lebar kepada orang tuanya. Ayah dan ibunya tersenyum dan berkata, "Kalau begitu, kamu harus rajin belajar, selalu berdoa, dan menjadi anak yang baik kepada semua orang." 3️⃣ Sejak hari itu, Dzaki mulai belajar dengan giat. Ia selalu bangun pagi untuk membaca buku, mengerjakan tugas sekolah tepat waktu, dan tidak pernah ragu untuk membantu teman-temannya. 4️⃣ Setiap malam sebelum tidur, ia berdoa, "Ya Allah, jadikan aku seorang pilot yang hebat suatu hari nanti." Dzaki percaya bahwa mimpi bisa menjadi kenyataan jika kita bekerja keras dan tidak pernah menyerah. 5️⃣ Tahun demi tahun berlalu, dan Dzaki tidak pernah berhenti berusaha. Setelah lulus sekolah, ia berhasil masuk ke sekolah penerbangan! Ia belajar cara menerbangkan pesawat, berlatih setiap hari, dan tidak menyerah, meskipun ada banyak tantangan. 6️⃣ Suatu pagi yang cerah, impiannya akhirnya menjadi kenyataan. Dzaki mengenakan seragam pilotnya yang asli dan melangkah menuju pesawat Garuda Indonesia yang besar. "Kapten Dzaki, siap untuk terbang!" katanya dengan bangga. 7️⃣ Saat pesawatnya melayang tinggi di langit, Dzaki tersenyum bahagia. Ia telah bekerja keras, tetap berbuat baik, dan tidak pernah berhenti percaya pada mimpinya. Kini, ia benar-benar terbang di antara awan—seperti yang selalu ia impikan!
