Jesus. A Life Story

About this ebook
A refugee, a carpenter's apprentice, a teacher, a friend. A hero, a pariah, a criminal. The Son of God. There has never been anyone like Jesus, and his life and teachings echo down through history. "Jesus. A Life Story" is exactly that, an account of Jesus life from Christmas to Easter to the resurrection, told in the Bible’s own words. The book uses extracts from all four gospels to complete the story, and divides the narrative into four 'acts' to make it easy to follow. It’s perfect for those who want to read more about Jesus, or it could be used for personal reflection or group study.

Prologue
Time: 700 BC
Location: Israel
The prophet Isaiah looks into the future and sees a man sent from God.
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD … He will never judge by appearance, false evidence, or hearsay. He will defend the poor and exploited.
Isaiah 11:2-3
And when he comes, he will open the eyes of the blind and unstop the ears of the deaf. The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will shout and sing!
Isaiah 35:5-6
The LORD himself will choose the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel – ‘God is with us.’
Isaiah 7:14
Act 1
Time: 1 AD
Location: Nazareth, Israel
Hundreds of years later, Israel is under Roman occupation. Its politics is divided, the golden age of its kings is nothing but a distant memory. But in the small northern town of Nazareth, something is stirring that will change history.
