of the story.

Each stop opens Scripture, people, places, events, and Old Testament threads as separate layers. Nothing asks you to understand the whole graph before you understand the story.

  1. 01Creation, fracture, covenant, and hopeThe PromiseThe story of Jesus begins before Bethlehem. God made a good world, humanity turned from Him, and from the first pages of Genesis God promised a rescuer: the offspring of the woman, the blessing of Abraham, the everlasting throne of David, and a servant who would bear the sins of many.6 primary passages 15 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
  2. 02Incarnation, birth, and childhoodThe Word Became FleshThe eternal Word through whom all things were made entered the world as a child. An angel spoke to a young woman in Nazareth, a census sent a family to Bethlehem, shepherds heard the news first, and wise men came from the east. John says simply that the Word became flesh and lived among us.4 primary passages 9 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
  3. 03Baptism, wilderness, and the first proclamationThe Kingdom AnnouncedJohn the Baptist prepared the way in the wilderness. Jesus was baptized in the Jordan, tested in the desert, and returned to Galilee announcing that the time was fulfilled and the Kingdom of God had come near. He called fishermen to follow Him, and they did.3 primary passages 7 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
  4. 04Teachings, signs, compassion, and conflictTeacher and HealerIn Galilee Jesus taught in parables and on hillsides, healed the sick, welcomed outcasts, calmed a storm, fed thousands, and raised the dead. His authority drew crowds and provoked opposition from religious leaders, and He asked His disciples the question that still stands: who do you say I am?5 primary passages 9 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
  5. 05The final journey and the last week beginsThe Road to JerusalemJesus set His face toward Jerusalem, knowing what awaited Him. He entered the city on a donkey to shouts of Hosanna, cleared the temple courts, taught in the temple, and wept over the city. The leaders resolved to kill Him, and one of the Twelve agreed to help.5 primary passages 8 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
  6. 06The Last Supper, Gethsemane, trial, and the crossThe PassionOn the night He was betrayed Jesus shared a final meal with His disciples and gave them the bread and cup as the new covenant. He prayed in Gethsemane, was arrested, tried before the council and before Pilate, and was crucified at Golgotha. He died and was buried before the Sabbath.5 primary passages 14 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
  7. 07The empty tomb and the appearancesHe Is RisenEarly on the first day of the week women came to the tomb and found the stone rolled away. Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, to the disciples behind locked doors, to two travelers on the Emmaus road, and to many others over forty days. The New Testament stakes everything on this: He is risen indeed.4 primary passages 8 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
  8. 08Ascension, Pentecost, the Great Commission, and the hope of His comingThe Church and the ReturnJesus commissioned His disciples to make disciples of all nations and was taken up into heaven. At Pentecost the Holy Spirit came, Peter preached, and the church was born. The story is still unfolding, and it ends with a promise: He will come again, and God will dwell with His people.4 primary passages 14 Old Testament threadsEnter this chapter
