Lesson
The Road Jesus Walked
Where the Gospels put him, from Bethlehem to the last approach to Jerusalem. A teaching map, the stops, and the places the four books do not tell the same clock.

Lesson
Signs, Not a Show
The works of Jesus are signs. They restore, they judge a claim, and they point to Him. The list is the lookup.

His words and works
Lists you can search by title or verse.
List
Parables of Jesus
The stories Jesus told, each in the scene where He told it. Look one up by name or verse and see what it was pressing on its first hearers.
List
Miracles of Jesus
The signs Jesus did, one event at a time, with every Gospel that tells it. A tag means readers disagree about something in that account.
List
Hard Sayings of Jesus
Some things Jesus said are meant to sting on the first reading. Find the saying, then how to hear it without softening it.
List
Titles and Names of Christ
Every title given to Jesus says something about who He is. See where each one is given and what it means. “He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
List
Fulfilled Prophecies
Old Testament texts Christians have read as pointing to the first coming of Christ, plus a few claims people say He did not fulfill. Look one up by title or verse, or read a whole group. Each one shows how it was first stated, then how it was fulfilled. Debated and claimed texts are marked.
