This is a project that we have attempted, stopped, and restarted several times. We will eventually work our way through the entire Book of The Ancient Words—as we chickens and songbirds call it, or “The Bible”—as you people call it.

We begin with Pearl’s words of introduction to prepare your mind, and we pray also to prepare your heart. Afterwards, we will move on to Three Truths that this Book of Moses reveals to us about Jesus.

Pearl stood in a patch of morning light, fluffed her feathers and began to speak with reverent clarity:

“Well now, dear ones, gather close. The Book of Genesis is the grand beginning—the first page of the Great Nesting Story. It tells how the world cracked open like a divine egg, and out spilled light, land, sky, and sea. And on the fifth day—ah, the fifth day!—the skies were stirred with wingbeats and songs. That’s when we birds were called forth, not from eggs, mind you, but fully feathered and ready to strut. Yes, the text of The Ancient Words says: ‘God created every winged bird according to its kind.’ That means chickens, doves, eagles—and even the awkward ostrich—were all summoned with purpose and poise.

“Just like people, we were not an afterthought. We were part of the original chorus, the sky dancers and dawn heralds. And though the humans came next with their gardens and naming games, we birds were already blessing the air with our flight and our fuss. Some say the egg came first, but I know better. The Creator made birds with the wisdom to lay eggs, not the other way around.

“So Genesis, to me, is not just the start of all things—it’s the sacred unveiling of the Great Garden, where every creature has its place, its rhythm, and its call. And we chickens? We are the keepers of dawn, the humble stewards of breakfast, and the quiet theologians of the barnyard.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go and ponder the mystery of the yolk.”

Truth #1 Jesus Is Our Creator and Sustainer

Pearl’s Perspective

“Well now, dear ones, Genesis Chapter 1 is the Great Hatchery of all things. And the truth about Jesus?—Oh, it’s nestled right there in the beginning, like a golden yolk in the center of the cosmic egg. As we know from The Ancient Words, ‘In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth’ (Genesis 1:1), and we chickens know that this Creator is none other than Jesus, the Word through whom all things were made. As John’s Gospel later whispers, ‘Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made’ (John 1:3).

“So when the skies were stretched and the waters teemed, it was Jesus who called forth the winged ones—every bird according to its kind. On the fifth day, He spoke, and we appeared! Not by accident, not by random pecking, but by divine delight. ‘Let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky’ (Genesis 1:20)—and so we did, flapping into the breath of God.

“But He didn’t just create us. He sustains us. Every grain we peck, every sunrise we greet with a cluck, every egg we lay in quiet devotion—it’s all held together by Him. As Colossians says, ‘In Him all things hold together’ (Colossians 1:17). That means the coop, the clouds, the rhythm of our roosting—it’s all sustained by the kindness of Christ.

“So I, Pearl, say this: Jesus is the First Feathermaker, the Sustainer of Song, the One who made the skies wide enough for flight and the earth soft enough for nesting. Genesis 1 is not just the beginning—it’s the unveiling of the Artist who made even chickens with purpose and poise.

Truth #2 Jesus Is Our Snake-Crusher

Pearl’s Perspective

Pearl, perched on a mossy stump beneath the fig tree, eyes the shadows with solemn clarity and begins her sacred cluck:

“Well now, dear ones, Genesis Chapter 3 is the tale of the Great Trouble—the moment when the garden, once so peaceful and plump with promise, was pierced by the hiss of deceit. That snake, sly and slithering, crept in with twisted words and tangled lies. And oh, how quickly the harmony cracked! Adam and Eve, once free to roam and tend, now hid like frightened chicks beneath thorny leaves.

But here’s the truth that makes my feathers rise with hope: Jesus is the Snake-Crusher. Right there in the middle of the sorrow, the Almighty Coopkeeper speaks a promise: ‘He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel’ (Genesis 3:15). That’s the first whisper of the Redeemer—the One who would come, not with talons or beak, but with bruised heel and boundless love, to stomp the serpent’s schemes and restore the garden’s grace.

We chickens know the fear of snakes. They slither near the coop, eyeing eggs and chicks with hunger. But we also know the courage it takes to stand firm, to sound the alarm, to protect the nest. Jesus did just that—He faced the serpent not with squawk or flight, but with sacrifice. And in doing so, He crushed the curse that coils around creation.

So I, Pearl, say this: Genesis 3 is not just the fall—it’s the first flap toward redemption. Jesus, the Snake-Crusher, is our protector, our redeemer, and the One who makes the coop safe again. Even in the shadow of the serpent, His promise shines like morning light.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go tuck my chicks beneath my wings and whisper this truth into their dreams.”

Truth #3 Jesus Is The Father’s Sacrificial Son

Pearl’s Perspective

“Well now, dear ones, Genesis Chapter 22 is a tale that makes even the bravest hen tremble. It’s the story of Abraham, called to offer his beloved son Isaac upon the mountain. And though the wood was carried, the fire prepared, and the knife raised—oh!—the sacrifice was stopped. A ram appeared, caught in the thicket, its horns tangled like a crown. That ram became the substitute, the offering in Isaac’s place.

And here’s the truth that makes my little chicken heart beat with holy wonder: Jesus is that Sacrificial Son. Like Isaac, He carried the wood—His cross. Like the ram, He wore the thorns. But unlike Isaac, there was no voice to stop the blade. Jesus was the offering, the Lamb who laid down His life so that all cooped-up souls might be set free.

We birds understand sacrifice. Some of us were offered in temple rites, others in humble meals. But Jesus? He was the once-for-all offering, the holy son who laid down His life not for feed or ritual, but for love. His sacrifice cracked open the shell of sin and made a way for every creature—feathered or not—to nest in grace.

So I, Pearl, say this: Genesis 22 was not just a test—it was a foreshadowing. It was the moment when the mountain whispered of a hill called Calvary, and the thicket hinted at a crown. Jesus is the Sacrificial Son, the ram of redemption, the One who laid down His life so we might rise up with wings of hope.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go sit quietly and let this truth warm my nest.”
