He was born in obscurity, yet a star boldly proclaimed the actual event of His birth. His coming had been prophesied for 4,000 years, but when He did arrive, only a few recognized who He truly was. His birth brought the announcement of "peace on earth" between God and man, but His ministry brought a sword to the kingdom of darkness. As a child, He was hidden from those who would destroy Him, so that as a man He could allow His destruction to be for the salvation of all mankind who will receive Him. Jesus Christ lived a little over 33 years, but it was His last three that made all the difference in the world. He healed the sick, raised the dead, restored the physically disabled and brought forth great abundance where there was very little. This is His story, From Glory to Glory: The Life, Ministry, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, as written by the New Testament Gospel authors Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (KJV). It is recomposed in this unique format for convenience and edification.
