Take an engaging trip back to the months and days surrounding the birth of Jesus as you walk alongside those who experienced the arrival of a baby that changed the world. Ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events, the men and women who speak through the pages of Eyes on Jesus: The Christmas Chronicles will challenge and inspire you to reflect on the impact of Christ’s birth. Their words lead to an exploration of humanity’s need for a Saviour, and God’s unshakeable promise to send a Redeemer to rescue all who believe in him. Mary and Joseph, Herod, the Magi, the shepherds, and Simeon are just some of those who share their story of the arrival of Jesus—the Child, the Son, the long-promised Deliverer. You’ll feel the crush of the crowd in Bethlehem as families arrive for the census, the startled surprise of shepherds watching their sheep, and the panicked grief of parents as Herod’s soldiers arrive for their young sons. The familiar story comes alive with all the shocking wonder encountered by those first witnesses, some with faith, some with doubt, and some with hostility or indifference. Eyes on Jesus: The Christmas Chronicles invites us to carefully consider the Child who was born so long ago, who lived to set us free, and who welcomes us into relationship with God himself.
