"One winter's night, long, long ago, God, who made the moon and the rain and the rivers and the flowers, and all the silvery stars, and everything on earth and in the sky, did a new and wonderful thing. He sent his own dear Son down from Heaven to join the world and live with people like you and me for a while." So begins A Child's Life of Jesus. We follow the life of God's Son from the Annunciation through the Resurrection and his return to live with God. We see his kindness to others, the miracles he performed, and the stories he told. Oursler reminds us, however, that the story is not finished yet. Adults and children today are a part of the story. It is up to us to invite Jesus into our hearts and live as he would have us live. If we live as Jesus would have us live, the world will be a wonderful, peaceful place.
