What Happens in this Episode
Welcome to Season Four of Jesus Stories. We are going back to the scriptures – to the beginning of Jesus Stories – to retell and to explain more deeply the life of Jesus. Still working from a chronological viewpoint, we’ll tell the story from the scriptures as we have done in the past, and then, in the next episode, expand on the story with more insights and teachings.
We start in this new season at the same place the gospels begin – prior to the birth of Jesus. We’ll hear the stories of Elizabeth and Mary and the babies which God gives to each of them.
