Jonas, a street urchin, is desperate for bread. When he finds some, knife-wielding thugs try to steal it but he temporarily escapes them. An old beggar then asks Jonas to share his bread with a “hungry soul.” Jonas responds by saying “There’s not enough.” The street thugs show up again and take some of Jonas’ bread from him. Jonas’ is despondent and frustrated with his hunger.

Meanwhile, the local town bakers stay up all night to make fresh bread for the next day’s market. In the morning, Jonas asks for a loaf of bread from one of the bread merchants but is turned away. He feigns illness and the merchant willingly gives him some bread. Then an old woman announces that Jesus, the miracle worker, is nearby. While skeptical, Jonas decides to see this man himself.

Jesus, Peter, and the rest of the disciples are on a boat and see the masses on the shore. Peter asks whether they should set back out to sea but Jesus instructs him to go to them. On shore, Jesus begins healing the sick who have come to see Him.

As the day will soon be ending, Peter and the disciples ask Jesus if He would like to send the people away to get food and shelter. Jesus instructs them to feed the people. They are overwhelmed given that there are over 5,000 people. Jesus tells them to go and see how much food there is among the people. Then, Jonas offers up his five barley loaves and two fish. Jesus blesses the food. The disciples are amazed and fill their baskets to begin feeding the people and discover they have much left over. Jesus retreats in solitude to pray.

As night descends, the disciples get on their boat and are soon caught up in a terrible storm. Frightened, they are amazed to see Jesus walking on water toward them and He implores them to “be not afraid.” When they arrive back on land, the people ask for more bread at which time Jesus explains that He is the bread of life.”

Jonas is convinced that the bread Jesus offers will satisfy one’s hunger forever. This delightful story of the feeding of the 5,000 challenges us to consider afresh the one who is the Bread of Life.

Story Synopsis:
Bread from Heaven is an account of how Jesus has compassion for the multitudes that have come to hear Him minister.

The story begins with a young street urchin named Jonas who is begging for each bit of food he can get. After an incident of trickery, he takes bread from the local bakers, Zeke and Jethro. He refuses to share his bread with an old man who is weak and clearly in need of nourishment. Later Jonas finds himself listening to the words of Jesus on the mountain. He is inspired by His message.

When Jesus asks for food to feed the people, Jonas unselfishly offers the five loaves and two fishes. After Jesus prays over the food, the disciples feed the people. Zeke and Jethro are amazed at the miracle of feeding the masses and come up with a plan to make Jesus king. They want Jesus to perform miracles so they will no longer have to work. When Jesus tells them He is the Bread of Life, the bakers think He is joking and return to their ovens.

Summary:
The story of John the Baptist begins as Elizabeth, a virtuous older woman who longs for a child, delights in watching a young boy playing outside her window. Her husband Zacharias, chosen to offer incense to God at the temple, is visited there by the Angel Gabriel who tells him that his wife is to bear a son.  Because of his disbelief, Zacharias suddenly falls deaf and mute, unable to tell his family and neighbors what happened to him.

When Elizabeth’s son is born, family members ask his name and she answers “ John.“  They refuse to accept this since none among them share it. The family then asks Zacharias his son’s name.  He writes “John” on a tablet and his hearing and speech are restored.  He shares with them prophecy of the role his son is to play.

John grows up to be strong in both body and spirit, living a humble life on the banks of the River Jordan. He preaches of the imminent coming of a savior, and baptizes people in the river in the name of the messiah, preparing the way for Jesus.

All of this proves disturbing to the Pharisees and their leader, Caiaphas, who tries to convince King  Herod to capture John. The King is reluctant but not his wife, Herodias.

Even when Pharisee spies question John as he preaches of the repentance, he does not temper his word, calling Herod a sinner for taking his brother’s wife. This accusation drives Herodias to demand John’s capture and death.  Before this happens, Jesus  approaches the place where John is preaching.  John cries out, recognizing the savior about whom he has been preaching. Jesus asks John to Baptize him and as he does, the heavens open and the Holy Spirit appears in the form of a dove. Even though his life is in danger from Herodias and Herod, John refuses to flee, declaring that his work is done.

Background:

Summary:
The story begins in 13 A.D. with Joseph, Mary, and Jesus journeying to Jerusalem for Passover. While there, they go to the market to gather supplies. Then, they wait outside the Temple to bring a sacrificial lamb to one of the Temple elders.

Joseph and Jesus take the lamb to the Temple altar where they find a Rabbi discussing the fate of a poor man who stole. Since the poor man cannot repay for what he has stolen, the Rabbi says the law states that he must be sold into slavery. The young boy, Jesus, questions how it is right to sentence a man to slavery when they are celebrating the Passover, which is about the Jewish people being freed from slavery.

As the Passover celebration ends, Mary and Joseph leave Jerusalem only to discover that Jesus is missing. They return to the city to find him counseling the elders at the Temple – amazing both the elders and His parents. Jesus returns home with his family where he grows strong with spirit and is filled with wisdom; the grace of God is upon Him.

Jesus, the man, becomes a carpenter like his earthly father, Joseph. The story then shows us the son of God fulfilling God’s will through baptism and then fasting 40 days in the wilderness. While there, Satan tempts him three times. Jesus remains strong in spirit and rebukes the devil each time. God finds favor with His son and sends angels to minister to Jesus.

Jesus then returns in the power of the spirit into Galilee and there went out a fame of him through the entire region round about.

The Righteous Judge

The Righteous Judge

The Righteous Judge . . .

In the story of the adulterous woman, Jesus teaches that human judgment is inaccurate. He also teaches about God’s mercy. The question, “Does suffering come from God?” is answered in the animated story of Aaron, a poor blind beggar. Caiaphas angrily sends men to arrest Jesus. Jesus turns aside Caiaphas’ men, saying that they do not judge righteously.

The Righteous Judge recreates the events that surround Jesus in teaching the principles of  love, forgiveness and righteous judgment. In the story of the adulteress Jesus confronts the Pharisees with the simple phrase, “let him without sin cast the first stone,” and thereby teaches us of God’s immense mercy and grace. Caiaphus, who unrighteously judges a blind man sinful, is contrasted against the gratitude of the blind man when Jesus freely heals him.

 “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
                                                                     – John 8:7b (NIV)

Who is qualified to judge, and by what standards? In The Righteous Judge Christian video, Jesus demonstrates the Father’s wondrous mercy, invites each of us to experience  His forgiveness, and then says, “Go and sin no more.”

Main Characters:
Jesus and the Disciples, Caiaphas and his men, Aaron and his parents, and the condemned woman.

Scriptural References:
John 7:1-36, John 8:3-11 and John 9:3-38

Overall Theme:
Jesus had to struggle with authorities who saw His message as a threat.  Caiaphas, the high Judge, tries to trick Jesus into making a judgment against the legal and moral authorities.  Jesus responds with the great command: “Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.”

Summary:
The inevitable question, “Does suffering come from God? “is answered in the animated story of Aaron, a poor blind beggar. AfterJesus anoints Aaron’s eyes with clay, the news travels to Caiaphas,the high judge of Israel, that Jesus has healed a man on the Sabbath—even though no work is to be done on that day [according to Jewish law]. Caiaphas angrily sends men to arrest Jesus, and they find Him teaching in the temple. Jesus turns aside Caiaphas’ men, saying  that  they do not judge righteously.

On the street we see Aaron, a poor blind beggar. As two men pass him, one expresses the belief that Aaron’s blindness is a punishment from God for his sins or the sins of his parents.  Aaron is convinced in his heart and souls that Jesus can heal him. His good parents set off to try to find Jesus.

Caiaphas, the high judge of Israel, considers himself to be enormously wise – wiser than Solomon.  He sentences a woman, who has been disloyal to her husband, to be stoned to death.

News comes that Jesus has healed a man on the Sabbath even though, according to Jewish law, no work is to be done on the Sabbath.  Caiaphas angrily sends men to arrest Jesus and they find Him teaching in the temple.  He turns aside Caiaphas’ men, saying they do not judge righteously.

Caiaphas and his men then plot to trick Jesus.  They bring the condemned woman to Jesus and ask Him to judge her.  If He frees her, He is breaking the law of Moses; to sentence her to be stoned is to break Roman law.

Jesus says, “Let him who has no sin cast the first stone.”  The members of the mob who gathered to punish her drop their stones to the pavement and disperse.  Jesus tells the woman, “Go, and sin no more.”

When Aaron finds Jesus, Jesus anoints his eyes with clay and tells him to wash in the pool of Siloam.  Aaron does so and his blindness is cured.  Caiaphas questions Aaron, who replies that he was healed by Jesus.  Caiaphas now knows that Jesus is a greater judge than he.

Background:
What is the meaning of suffering?  Is it a punishment by God?  Who is qualified to judge and by what standards?  Jesus tells us that as all men are sinners, God alone can judge us.  He does so righteously, with His eternal wisdom and love.

In The Righteous Judge, Jesus demonstrates God’s  wondrous mercy.  None of us could throw the first stone because we are all guilty of sin.  But Jesus invites each of us to experience His forgiveness and then says, “Go and sin no more.”

Zacchaeus is the Chief Publican of Jericho, who gains great wealth by cheating others. His young son has heard of Jesus and wants to go see Him. But Zacchaeus will not give up the opportunity to make money just to listen to a mere “rabbi.”

In the countryside, a wealthy young man finds Jesus preaching. When he asks Jesus what he must do to  inherit eternal life, Jesus tells him to obey the commandments, to sell all he has and give to the poor. The rich man, unable to part with his gold, turns away.

When a man named Bartimaeus is arrested, he asks Zacchaeus to let him hear Jesus before being thrown in prison. Zacchaeus is troubled by the intensity of  Bartimaeus’ faith and sets him free. Zacchaeus then witnesses the miraculous healing of Bartimaeus by Jesus.  Zacchaeus struggles to come to terms with his     awakening faith. The things of the world have been     replaced with a longing in his heart, and he prays that Jesus will heal him because he feels he is n’t worthy.

Jesus, however, tells him that He came to this world not only for those who are righteous, but also to seek and save the lost.  Zacchaeus decides he will give half of his wealth to the poor, and repay those he has cheated. Jesus tells him that because of that decision, salvation will come to him.

Summary:
The Miracles of Jesus begins with a test  of the disciples’ faith as their as their boat is tossed about on the Sea of  Galilee by a fierce storm. Jesus awakens to calm the storm and asks Peter and the others why they were afraid and why they did n’t have faith in Him to calm the storm.

We learn of miracles performed by Jesus, including his healing of the palsied child, David, and raising Jairus’ daughter, Sarah from the dead. Because of her faith, just the touch of Jesus’ robe heals a woman who had been sick for 12 years.

Peter and the others disciples find it hard to believe that faith alone can accomplish so much. While out fishing, Peter sees Jesus walking on the water, seeks to join him and strides across the water’s surface until his

faith weakens. Jesus explains to the disciples that if their faith is at least as great as that of the tiny mustard seed, then they can do all that he does.  The people living in Galilee believe the miracle they see, but not Caiaphas, the high priest, who angrily calls Jesus a false Messiah.

The video ends in a loving expression of faith Jesus asks of his disciples and followers as we see little David and Sarah, now healthy and happy, running and playing, their laughter filling our hearts.

Background:
In The Miracles of Jesus we see Jesus’ love in action. We learn the importance of faith and its  power to make a difference in our lives. The story vividly demonstrates Jesus’ power and love which still lives as we respond to him with the faith modeled in these beautiful stories.
