Jesus and His Times Video I: The Story Begins "For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." The Roman census forces Joseph and Mary to take the rocky road to Bethlehem, where Jesus is born. Then they must flee to Egypt but return to settle in Nazareth where Jesus grew up. Jesus first proclaimed His deity to His parents when they found him in the temple. Jesus said, "I had to be in my father’s house." His unique relationship to God, His Father, led the Jewish elders to understand that He was claiming to be God. Video II: Among The People "Come, follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Be there as Jesus is baptized in the Jordan. Follow Him, as He summons the first disciples. Hear Him preach the great Sermon on the Mount. His message is simple: the right theology, philosophy or separation from the world is not as essential as a right heart. Then, witness Jesus heal a leper, a blind man, an epileptic, a paralytic, and raise Lazarus from the dead. Video III: The Final Days" I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world." Join the cheering crowd that welcomed Jesus to Jerusalem. Watch as He cleanses the Temple of greedy merchants. Be a guest at the Last Supper. See Jesus' betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane and His trial before Pontius Pilate. Witness the crucifixion of Jesus at Golgotha, a hill where executed criminals were displayed for the people. Jesus was buried on Friday but on Sunday morning Mary Magdalene found the tomb empty. He had Risen.
