Unless you just read the New Testament Gospels you may never experience the stories of Jesus without the filter of the preacher. When you read those stories, you may wonder about some of the action that takes place or the words that are said which are weird to a 21st century mind-set.
That’s why I’ve created “Jesus Stories.” I tell the story of Jesus without the preacher filter and explain the customs and words which seem strange to us in this century.
To make this telling of Jesus Stories complete as well as interesting, I tell these stories in a “best guess” chronology.
I’m not a theologian. I’m just an ordinary guy who has studied the scriptures for years and taught them for most of the past 40 years in various settings. I seek an understanding of the times in which Jesus lived to really understand what he was doing and saying. In other words, when Jesus’ first disciples heard his words and saw his actions, what did they see and hear? And how does that mean in today’s world?
