Description
The Time: 39 days after the resurrection
The Place: Nazareth
James, brother of Jesus, is hard at work, struggling in vain to escape the recent turn of events. The death by crucifixion of his brother was difficult enough, but word of his resurrection has left James hopelessly confused and troubled.
Theme
Even though Jesus lived on this earth as a man, His real home is in heaven with the Father; if we are His followers, heaven is also our true home.
