Jesus looked down at the ocean below and saw that the moon was just about to sink over the horizon. He took the silver crescent in his hands. Tilted back on its curved edge, it was just the right size and shape for a man and a small boy to step into and sail away into the night.
With a cry of delight, Jonathan bounded into the magical boat. Then, as he watched in awe, Jesus caught a passing cloud, shook it out into a billowing sheet, and set it as a sail over the shining craft. He stepped in next to Jonathan, and directed the wind toward the horizon.
And when the silver moon set over the sleeping seas, it took with it two passengers toward the promised land.
Synopsis
Jonathan, born with profound physical and mental disabilities, knows he is different. But over the course of one extraordinary evening, he learns that he is no different from anyone else when it comes to receiving God’s perfect love.
Late one night, Jonathan is awakened by Jesus, who whisks him away on a unforgettable night-long journey through space and time. While with Jesus, Jonathan is able to speak, walk, and see for the first time. Filled with wonder, he voices his many questions as he witnesses important events in the lives of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Himself.
As Jesus lovingly answers Jonathan’s curiosity by recreating major events of the Bible, His alternating expressions of joy, anguish, anger, and tenderness reveal His intense, faithful love for mankind… and for Jonathan.
