PlotAt the age of seven, a young boy named Jesus lives in Alexandria, Egypt, with his family. Unaware of the divine mysteries surrounding his birth, Jesus begins to experience miraculous events and powers that set him apart from other children. His parents, Mary and Joseph, who both understand the true nature of their son's identity, provide guidance and protection while maintaining a life of secrecy about his origins. After a deadly event forces them to leave Egypt, the family returns to Nazareth, where Jesus starts grappling with questions about his existence and purpose.
As Jesus encounters various challenges and adversaries on their journey back to their homeland, Roman soldiers, led by Severus, pursue them under orders from Herod Antipas, who fears the prophecy of a new king. Alongside the threat from Herod's soldiers, the young Jesus also faces spiritual confrontations that test his emerging understanding of his mission. While grappling with his destiny and the growing realization of who he truly is, Jesus's actions and miracles begin to touch the lives of many around him, setting the stage for his future role in history.
