We believe that the end-focus of the Bible's story of hope is not that Jesus Christ conquered physical death through His resurrection, as important and foundational as that is to God-given hope.
We believe that the ultimate hope provided through Jesus Christ's redeeming work is the end-hope recorded in Revelation And, yes, the death and resurrection of Jesus made that possible. And in between the resurrection of Jesus and that ultimate end-hope--a restored paradise--there are some other key hope-points in history that need to be highlighted in "the story of hope.
We certainly do not claim to have the "perfect list of 40 key Bible events. And, now, more than 10 years later, evangelism experiences with The Story of Hope literally, around the world!
One way to overcome this tight event ceiling is to extend the number of events in the presentation of the story of redemption beyond 40 events. And that's exactly what we did in creating the event chronological Bible teaching resource, The Roots of Faith: Exploring the Bible from Beginning to End.
But even there we have asked ourselves, "How do we limit the presentation of this great story to only events?! Learn more!

Chapter The Prophets Tell about Jesus. Chapter After the Old Testament. Words to Know. He was alone and hungry. The devil went to Him and tried to tempt Him into turning the stones into bread, but Jesus replied that man does not live on bread alone, but on the Word of God. Then, the devil took Jesus to the highest point in the Holy City to the highest point.
He told Jesus to throw Himself from there for the scriptures said that the angels would save Jesus. But Jesus replied to him that we should not put the Lord to the test. The devil then tried to promise all the kingdoms of the world to Jesus, as long as He bowed down and worshipped him.
But Jesus rebuked the devil and told him that worship is meant for God alone. The devil then left Jesus, and the angels of the Lord came to attend to Him. One day, when Jesus was in the temple, he saw an old woman put two small coins into the offering box. Everyone else gave a little out of their wealth, but she gave all she had in her poverty. Most of the Pharisees had a problem with Jesus because He ate with the sinners and allowed them to follow Him.
Jesus told them this parable to help them understand. When you find it, you are very happy and tell everyone that you found your lost sheep. You will call your friends and celebrate. In the same way, when a sinner repents, there is a lot of rejoicing in heaven.
Jesus healed many people when He was on earth. People would crowd around Him, hoping to get to just touch his garments, so that they could be healed. A ruler came before Jesus and knelt down, asking Jesus to go with him to his home and raise his daughter from the dead.
All Jesus had to do was lay his hands on her. Among them was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She thought that if she only got to touch His clothes, she would be healed. When Jesus felt power leave Him, he turned to see who was responsible. She was afraid that perhaps Jesus was angry, but this was not the case as Jesus was pleased with her.
When Jesus reached the home of the ruler, He took the young girl by the hand, and she got up, alive and well. From turning water into wine to feeding five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish, Jesus never failed to surprise those around Him. When Jesus had fed the five thousand, He made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him, and He went up onto a mountainside to pray.
When it was evening, the boat had reached the middle of the ocean and Jesus was the only one on land. He saw the disciples fighting against the wind because it was too strong. Later, He went out to them, walking on water. When His disciples saw Him, they thought He was a ghost and cried out in fear.
He calmed them down, and when they realised it was Him, Peter asked if he could also walk on water. Jesus said yes, as long as he kept Him as his focus.
When Peter got out of the boat, he walked a little way to Jesus, but as soon as he looked down, he began to sink. Jesus saved Peter then. The moment they were in the boat, the winds died down. His disciples were amazed. This is a parable that Jesus told His followers to teach them the importance of living Holy lives. Jesus told His followers a story of ten virgins who went out to meet a bridegroom.
Five were fools, and five of them were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps with them, but they did not take any oil. The five wise women carried extra oil in jars. The bridegroom was taking a long time to come, and soon, all the women fell asleep. Their lamps all burned out. At midnight, there was a cry that the bridegroom was arriving and that they were to go and greet him. The five foolish women asked the wise women to lend them some oil, but the wise women refused, as there was not enough for two lamps and that they should go and buy some oil.
When they went about their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived, and the wise women welcomed and entered into the banquet hall with him.
When the other 5 returned and asked to be let in, they were refused. Live lives that are pleasing to God because you never know when the time will come for Him to take you home. When Jesus and His disciples were at the home of Mary and Martha, who opened their doors to Him, Martha ran about preparing food and trying to serve everyone. Mary chose to sit and listen to what Jesus had to say.
Martha became irritated with Mary and asked Jesus to tell Mary to come and help her. Mary has chosen to do the right thing. Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of His disciples, and was then taken before Pontius Pilate. The people urged Pontius to release a murderer named Barabas to them and to crucify Jesus. They had Him flogged and tortured, and made Him carry his own cross up the hill where He was to be killed.
All this happened according to the prophecy that Prophet Isaiah had made, which said the one God chose to take the punishment of the sins of His people would die in silence and would be hung on a tree.
When they went into the tomb, there was a young man in a white robe. The women ran away, but were too afraid to say anything to anybody. Jesus then appeared to some of His other followers. Jesus appeared to Thomas and allowed him to do just that. You must have often heard people iterate the importance of reading a bible story every day or week to your kids, but what value do these stories really hold?
Bible stories are a great way to pass down morals and values to your kids, teaching them to have faith in God in a way they find interesting. Rather than taking a preachy route, you can read them a story from the bible, just like you would any other, and watch them pay attention with keen eyes. God sent His son Jesus to take our punishment upon Himself because we cannot pay for our own sins, and through Him, we are saved.
