Jesus' Day Off



Jesus is back in another warm, endearing story. Following on from his wonderful Christmas party it is a few years and a few miracles later and Jesus is ready for a day off. After all, being the saviour of the world can be hard work!

Jesus worked hard to make the world beautiful. He performed miracles, told fabulous stories - all for free - and generally spent his time spreading joy and light around the world. A tiring business, as Jesus had to admit when, one day, he had trouble getting out of bed. And worse - the miracles start to go wrong! But help is at hand. 'Take the day off, Jesus,' said the doctor. 'Relax. Have some fun!' So Jesus had some fun - but was it worth it? Dad, as usual, has the answer!
