Description
To most people, the most engaging and accessible part of The Urantia Book is Part IV: The Life and Teachings of Jesus. Encompassing the final third of the book, it is a panoramic and masterfully crafted narrative detailing thirty-six years of the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. This illustrated collection of forty-two parables of Jesus is drawn entirely from The Urantia Book. It is presented in a beautifully designed layout and illustrated with modern photographic compositions and classic works of art. It is sure to become a favorite volume for those seeking to better understand and benefit from Jesus' teachings. Jesus was a teacher who taught as the occasion served; he was not a systematic teacher. Jesus taught not so much from the law as from life, by parables. This was especially true during the last year of his public ministry as the parable allowed him to present new and startling truths to those who desired to know the better way while at the same time affording his enemies less opportunity to find cause for offense and for accusations against him.
These parables represent a mighty storehouse of moral and spiritual teachings which have come down through the ages unblemished by the doctrines and dogmas of men. They are, quite simply, a pearl of great price.

A book for all who seek God, The Untold Story of Jesus reveals the living Christ to members of the church that bears his name, as well as to worshipers of all world religions.

What did Jesus teach?
"Whosoever will, let him come."
Welcoming, and free from all narrow-mindedness, Jesus exhorted his followers to preach the gospel to all peoples. His sympathetic heart embraced all mankind, even a universe.
"Be of good cheer."
This man of Galilee was not a man of sorrows; he was a soul of gladness. He could maintain this confident attitude because of his unswerving trust in God and his unshakable confidence in man. He was always touchingly considerate of all men because he loved them and believed in them.
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock, and if any man will open, I will come in."
Jesus taught that God is approachable, the Father is attainable, and the way is open to any hungry soul who desires to know God and become like him.
"My love overshadows you, my spirit will dwell with you, and my peace shall abide upon you."
The peace of Jesus is the peace and assurance of a person who fully believes that his career for time and eternity is safely and wholly in the care and keeping of an all-wise, all-loving, and all-powerful spirit Father. This is the peace which surpasses all understanding.
"The kingdom of God is within you."
Men seek for the treasures of the kingdom with yearning hearts and weary feet when they are all within the immediate grasp of living faith.
