Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, His cousin. John the Baptist first objected, saying that Jesus should baptize him, not the other way around. After Jesus was baptized, God came down in the the form of a dove, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Luke 3:12-22)

Answer: Paul

When he was called Saul, he was a very bad man, and he killed Christians. God suddenly made a very bright light flash around him, causing him to go blind. This is when God spoke to him. He told him to go to the city, and there he would be given further instructions.

He was taken to the city of Damascus, and he stayed there for three days, and he did not eat or drink. Later, a follower of Christ named Ananias came to the house where Saul was staying. He was told to go there by God. Ananias touched Saul's eyes and told him that if he accepted Jesus as his Savior, then he would no longer be blind.

He did accept Jesus, and he was able to see.

Answer: Cadillac

These men were thrown in the fiery furnace because they followed God. The furnace was so hot that it instantly killed the guards that threw them in. A few minutes later, someone looked in, and saw 4 men in there. The fourth one is sometimes thought to be Jesus. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked out without a scratch or burn on them.

Answer: Jonah

God wanted Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach to all the wicked people there, but Jonah did not want to go. He went to Joppa and got on a ship, thinking that God wouldn't see him. God saw him, and sent a big storm, which made the crew think it was about to sink.

They threw everything overboard. Meanwhile, Jonah was downstairs asleep. Everyone on the ship decided that someone on board was making trouble for them, and they decided it was Jonah. Jonah told them to throw him into the sea, and that would make God stop the storm.

They threw him overboard, and Jonah was swallowed by a big fish. (We do not know what kind of fish it was; people often refer to it as a whale, which we now know is a mammal, but we are not certain.) After three days, the whale spit him out, and he washed onto the shore.

He then went to Nineveh, because he had learned his lesson: God could see anyone, any place, anytime.

Answer: Israelites

The Israelites are God's chosen people. He stated that in the Old Testament, in Deuteronomy 7:6.

Answer: Mary Magdalene

On Easter Sunday, Mary Magdalene and another woman went to Jesus's tomb to put spices on His dead body. When they reached the tomb, they found that the stone had been rolled away. They thought that someone had stolen His body, but saw an angel at the door of the tomb.

They asked him where Jesus had gone, and the angel said that He had risen from the dead. They saw a gardener in the garden, and it was really Jesus, but they didn't know that. He told them who He was, and they went to town to tell the apostles.
