EVENT 1 OF 10
The Way Begins
30–100 AD
The first followers of Jesus live and teach in His way. Oral teachings, letters, and eyewitness testimony spread across the nations.
THE STORY
Jesus taught the Kingdom of God. He called people to repent, believe, and live by love. His followers—called the Way—shared meals, prayed, healed the sick, and cared for the poor. There was no empire behind them, no state power, and no fixed institutional structure. The message spread from Jerusalem to Antioch, Asia Minor, Rome, and beyond.
