Excerpt from The Story of the Child That Jesus Took
Iam to tell the story of the child that Jesus took. It is a story of a life that I think might have been lived when Jesus himself was here with men. We are not told in the Gospels the name of the child, nor do we know just how old he was when he first saw Jesus and our interest in his life begins. We know what Jesus said of the child when he took him; we would like also to know what the child thought about Jesus. As he grew up, did his life become different because, when he was only a child, he had seen Jesus' face?
We may, indeed, have to use our imaginations somewhat to follow this narrative concerning one who was only a boy when Jesus used to come to the Lake of Galilee; who became a man while those disciples were teaching others how they should follow Jesus; and who, many years after the first disciples were gone, lived in the new way which was then first called Christian.
