Baseada no evangelho de Lucas, narra honestamente a história do Filho de Deus – desde Seu miraculoso nascimento até Sua agonizante morte. Em um tempo em que Roma governava o mundo, com o poder da vida e da morte em suas mãos, a província da Palestina Romana estava um caldeirão borbulhante de rebelião e controle. Nesse cenário, Lucas narra uma história de maravilha, assombro e impacto. O mundo está antecipando esse momento da História, mas ninguém imaginava Deus tocando Sua criação na forma de um bebê chamado Jesus. No entanto, os caminhos de Deus não são os caminhos do homem, e a Sua salvação não é evidenciada na carne; é apenas manifestada no espírito. Cristo veio para morrer, para ser sacrificado. O caminho para a cruz está cheio de perigos e armadilhas, mas Jesus – o Salvador – venceu a morte e ressuscitou! E esse é apenas o começo de um novo tempo para os filhos de Deus.
