The people of the ancient world believed that the creation of the Universe had occurred after a violent battle between two gods. The male god kills the female god, then tore her body apart and used half of her to create the heavens and half to create the earth. The driving engine of this story is violence, carnage, and destruction. Not a children’s bedtime story. The Jews on the other hand, who were in exile at the time, had a different story - a story that had lived in their bones - a story that had been passed down from...

Jesus’ disciples were the first to see him revealed as who he really was - The Christ. They lived with him, they ate with him, they walked the same dusty roads from city to city as he taught, ministered and performed miracles.
