Brief Summary
• Begins by telling us about Jesus' parents ;the birth of His cousi
n,John the Baptist;Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem,w
here Jesus is born in a manger;and the genealogy of Christ thro
ugh Mary.Jesus' public ministry reveals His perfect compassion
and forgiveness through the stories of the prodigal son, the ric
h man and Lazarus,and the Good Samaritan.While many believ
e in this unprejudiced love that surpasses all human limits,man
y others--especially the religious leaders-- challenge and oppos
e the claims of Jesus.Christ's folllowers are encouraged to cou
nt the cost of discipleship,while His enemies seek his death on
the cross.Finally Jesus is betrayed,tried sentenced and crucifie
d.But the grave cannot hold Him! His resurrection assured the
continuation of His ministry of seeking and saving the lost..
