The Young Messiah

Before he was the savior…he was a child.

At the age of 7, Jesus Bar-Joseph has fled with his family to avoid a massacre of children by King Herod. Jesus knows that his parents are keeping secrets about his birth and about traits that make him very different from other boys. His parents, however, believe him too young to grasp the truth of his miraculous birth and purpose. Learning that the murderous Herod is dead, they set out to return to their home of Nazareth in Israel, unaware that Herod’s namesake son is, like his father, determined to see the boy Jesus dead.
