Abstract:
Benjamin is the child Jesus set before his disciples to tell them they had to be like a child to be saved. He suffers separation from his parents, shipwreck, slavery and mistreatment by the Pharisee who buys him. When Jesus casts out the vendors in the Temple in Jerusalem, he frees Benjamin and takes him with him in his ministry. Through Benjamin’s eyes, we see the miracles, teaching and love of Jesus. We see the frustrated insurrection of Barrabas and the Zealots, and how one of them was saved on the cross. Benjamin sees the resurrected Lord and is reunited with his parents.
