Hey!
Want to know a King? A real King? Like no other King you could ever imagine? Well stand by for a journey that will start the greatest adventure of your life… It began in a small Middle Eastern country where the people were ruled by one of the fiercest armies in the world—the Roman army. The Romans had invaded the tiny land of Israel. They planned to conquer the whole world—but little did they know that someone else had an even bigger plan.
Who? God.
God’s plan had been written in ancient books. God had chosen a time and a place for a King to arrive on earth. And it was right then and there in that tiny country, Israel. Things were tough under Roman occupation. Any opposition was brutally put down by Roman soldiers in strange-looking armour. And if you think the Romans wore mad clothes, check out John the Baptist. He was this guy who lived out in the desert. Word about him spread and lots of people went to see what he was up to. He was a real wild man and he wore some crazy clothes made of scratchy camel hair. And if you think that’s bad, wait until you hear what he ate.
What?
