INTRODUCTION
PART A
[**Notice to the readers of this book**]:
May You All be blessed?
I have written this book to
my 2 grandsons about how Jesus lived and died so that we all could be saved.
My oldest
grandson wanted to know who Jesus was and what did he do for us when he lived on earth. I told them the whole story in a one
on one conversation. When I completed this book, my middle daughter who teaches English proofread it and she wanted to correct
the quotations and change it to a more formal reading. I have chosen not to change the way it was written but to leave it
in the present form so that it will let the readers experience me (Pa) having a true conversation with my 2 grandsons.
There is a 116 pages of different chapters of each event that happen in The Life of Jesus Christ
Thanks for sharing your valuable time with us.
We hope you enjoy reading this great book.

One day my grandsons
Keary & Kason was over for the weekend and he asked me “hey Pa” who was Jesus Christ and could you tell me
and my baby brother his story and what he done to make our life and the world a better place to live.
I told him: Well Champ this is a very long story and has been written in every Language and
all types of translations but for me to tell you this story, I will have to tell it in the way so both of you could understand
it. Okay Pa: “Tell us the story the way we talk today but do not change any of the meaning so that
Jesus Life is told. “Okay Champ”.
Chapter 1
**Jesus Birth Foretold**
Hey Pa: How did they know that they would have a
baby?
Well Champ: Let me tell you how this story
began.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ
was like this; when his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy
Spirit.
Hey Pa: What did her husband say?
Champ: Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing
to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of
the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your
wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus,
for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."
Hey Pa: I bet
his mother was afraid when she met those ghost and they told her she would have a baby?
No Champ: They were not ghost, they were a spirit sent from God and his mother was proud to be chosen.
Hey
Pa: I hope me and my brother is chosen by God.
“Oh! What a mighty Spirit”
Chapter 2b**birth of Jesus
Hey
Pa: Where was the baby born and did anybody
Bring him some gifts?
Yeah Champ:
Joseph had to look around town to find some where for the baby to be born. There weren’t any hotels or houses
for them to rent so he had to keep looking so finally he found an empty barn.
Hey
Pa: In the barn is where my daddy keeps his horses. I’m glad that I wasn’t born in a barn.
Yeah Champ: But Jesus was born there so that we all could be saved.

Follow that Star
Hey Pa: What did they do?

and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and blessings.
