THE STORY OF JESUS

THE CHRIST

Adapted for Children

PREFACE

The story of the life of Christ has been written time and

time again, yet it is one that is ever fresh and attractive.

Little children love to hear it if it is told in language which

their minds are able to grasp, and the aim of this book has

been to tell the story so simply that the youngest child can

enjoy it because he can understand it.

The account recorded in the four gospels has been closely

followed, and the order of events is that accepted by the greatest

thinkers and writers. Many of the laws and customs of the

times have been introduced to make the text more clear; and,

that the lessons taught may be more attractive and better

remembered, the book is abundantly illustrated.

The writer does not claim originality, but, knowing that all

children love to read or hear a good story, she has tried to tell

this old, old story in a way that will make them love it and

absorb into their own beings the elements of true living which

only the life and teachings of the Christ can give.

THE STORY OF JESUS-THE CHRIST

INTRODUCTION

Far away over the sea, on the continent of Asia, is the land

of Palestine, which is also called the Holy Land. If you look

for it on the map you will find that it is a very small country.

Yet, though it is so small, such great things have happened

there that all the world knows of Palestine. This story will tell

you why it is called the Holy Land, and why so many people

love it.

Very many years ago there lived in Palestine a man by the

name of Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, and the grandson of

Abraham. He had twelve sons, each of whom was the head of a

large family called a tribe. The twelve tribes together made a

nation which was known either as the Jews, or as the Children

of Israel. Israel was another name given to Jacob after he was

a man.

The Jews were better than any other people living at that

time, just because they worshipped God. There were a good

many people then, as there are now, who did not know about the

true God in heaven. They made images, or idols, of wood or

stone, which they called gods. They prayed to these idols, asking

them to take care of them. They even thanked these gods
