Life Before Christ

Before there was Bethlehem… there was Nebadon. Long before he became known to the world as Jesus Christ, Michael of Nebadon had already lived an extraordinary existence spanning the vast reaches of time and space. According to The Urantia Book, he was the Creator Son entrusted with the formation and government of an entire local universe containing millions of inhabited worlds. His life before Earth was a magnificent journey of creation, leadership, humility and divine purpose. Life Before Christ takes readers beyond the familiar gospel narrative to explore Michael's eternal origins, the creation of the universe of Nebadon, the ministry of celestial personalities, the remarkable seven bestowals, and the profound reasons why he ultimately chose Urantia as the stage for his final incarnation as Jesus of Nazareth. Beautifully written and carefully coordinated with the teachings of The Urantia Book, this inspiring study reveals a breathtaking cosmic perspective on the life of Christ. It portrays a sovereign who earned his universal authority through love, service and personal experience, revealing that the carpenter of Nazareth was also the Creator of galaxies and the loving ruler of an immense universe. Whether you are a devoted student of The Urantia Book or simply seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus' eternal identity, this book offers a compelling and uplifting journey into one of the revelation's most inspiring subjects. Discover the majestic story that began long before the manger—and see Christ as never before.
