Three video set on the life of Christ with study guide.
The Story Begins

Travel the dusty roads with Joseph and Mary as they make their way to the tiny village of Bethlehem in obedience to the edict of the Roman Emperor Ceasar Augustus. Be amazed, along with shepherds on a nearby hillside, at the angels' "good news of great joy." Learn about the life of King Herod the Great and about the wise men from the East who brought word of Jesus' birth to that murderous tyrant. See for yourself what daily life was like for the Holy Family in Egypt, where they fled for safety, and in the village of Nazareth, where Jesus later grew to manhood. Accompany Him as a 12-year-old to the Temple in Jerusalem for observation of the Passover.

Among the People
Listen to John the Baptist as he preaches a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, and visit the community of devout Essenes to which John may have belonged. Be there as he baptizes Jesus in the waters of the Jordan. Watch Jesus teaching in the synagogues of Galilee and understand how His teachings echoed those of the highly respected Pharisees-- and how they differed. Walk with Him and His disciples through Galilee, Samaria and Judea, and hear His parables as they must have fallen on the ears of His listeners: plain working people who understood and responded to the images of sheep and shepherds, seeds and harvest, vineyards and the fruit of the vine. Witness His miracles, His healings, the raising of Lazarus.
The Final Days
See Jerusalem, the Holy City, as it appeared in Jesus' day. Be part of the cheering throng that welcomed Him into the city to celebrate Passover, and join the startled crowd in the Temple when He drove out those who sold. Learn who the hereditary priests of the Temple really were and why they feared Jesus. Understand the political and religious turmoil that raged through a land ruled by Rome but inhabited by a people ruled only by God. Share their dreams of the Messiah who would save them. Join Jesus at the Last Supper. Witness His betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane, His trial before Pontius Pilate. Despair with His followers at the crucifixion and rejoice at the events that followed.
