THE EASTER PROMISE; THE WITNESS

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:19:07 -0800

Image:

This DVD features two programs in one. 1. Easter Promise: Jerem dreams of being a soldier for a king. He is thrilled to hear about the upcoming arrival of the true King Jesus. Jerem, however, is fooled by appearances and soon rejects Jesus. In a wonderful lesson about truth, appearances, and forgiveness, Jerem ultimately trusts in Jesus and witnesses the fulfillment of the greatest promise of all—the resurrection. 2. The Witness: children will hear the story of what may have happened to Barabbas after he was freed by Pontius Pilate. His journey to faith starts with his doubts about Jesus Christ’s divinity. His secure unbelief is shattered as he tries to prove to himself that Jesus Christ was a man like any other, and he finally comes to faith.
