"You mean, In the Bible?" Bobby asked.
"Yes, dear, right in the Bible. And today we can read what Jesus did and what he said to people long ago."
"How does it help to know what Jesus said to people long ago? I want to know what he says to me right now."
"That is the wonderful part about it, Bobby. When people today read what Jesus did and said long ago, they find the very answers they need, to their own questions about how to live today. It seems as though he is talking right to them."
"Tell me more about Jesus," Bobby asked his mother. "I want to know what he did."
" I can't tell you all at once, Bobby."
"Then begin to tell me. Let's begin this very minute."
And so Bobby's mother began telling him all about the life of Jesus.
