The most important Jesus stories

 

Margot Käßmann recounts the best stories about Jesus in modern and child-friendly language. The story is about when as a young man Jesus was baptised by John in the River Jordan and then embarked on a journey to tell the people about God. The story is about the fishing in the Sea of Galilee and the men and women who accompanied Jesus. The story is about Jesus eating his evening meal with Zacchaeus, the city’s hated tax collector. The story Jesus told about the prodigal son and the great party upon his return. Margot Käßmann recounts the small and large miracles where the blind see again and the lame walk again thanks to Jesus’ devotion to the people. And how by asking the people to share, nobody went hungry.
At the end is the most beautiful speech that Jesus held: the Sermon on the Mount and his invitation to the children, who always occupied a special place in his heart.
