In today’s first session of Season Five of The Road to Somewhere, we enter the state of Texas and begin looking at Jesus through the lenses of the four gospel accounts of his life and ministry. In this first episode, we will be stopping in Shamrock, Texas, and exploring the early days of Jesus’ life. It will be a little like Christmas in May as the teaching video looks at the nativity account in the book of Matthew, supplemented by Luke’s account. Neither Mark nor John record the birth of Jesus. The closest John comes is to declare that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” In the book, The Road to Somewhere, John gives a brief summary of what has happened between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New. 400 years have passed and it is a different world than the one in which the prophets were living. I have sent out a link earlier to a teaching session on this period. Today’s episode explains how we will proceed in the next four weeks as we break down the story of Jesus into four parts. I hope you will join us on our short overview of Jesus’ life. The links to both today’s episode and the teaching video on “The Early Life of Jesus” are below:
