Also, in the back of this book you will find a chart called “Related Scriptures” for further personal study. C. Trust the Spirit of God to open minds and hearts The ultimate purpose of the KING of GLORY movie, picture book, study guide, and coloring book is to help people of all ages understand the foundational truths revealed in the Bible—about God, man (humanity), sin, and salvation. My prayer to God is that the KING of GLORY movie and/or book, along with this study guide, will inform and inspire you, your family, community, and nation to connect the dots in the Scriptures of the prophets, see God’s plan, and grasp who you are and who you can be in His eyes, a nd who the King of glory is and what He has done for you—“the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God ” (1 Peter 3:18). In Episode 12 (Scene 53 in the book), you will experience the story pictured below, a parable Jesus the Messiah told His disciples one day when they were on a mountain. Later, when a crowd had gathered at the foot of the mountain, He told it again. “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. “It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. “But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins” (Luke 6:46-49). On what foundation are we building our lives? Who is your foundation? 12 13
