My Savior, My God – Nearly everyone knows the story of Jesus. We know him as a baby, a carpenter, a miracle worker, a teacher and prophet, but until we truly comprehend what His death and resurrection mean to us personally, we cannot sincerly call Him Savior and God. Those words are not just titles, but have eternal impact and meaning. Beautifully arranged by Richard Kingsmore, this dramatic musical not only tells the story of Jesus' final hours on this earth, but in the process, looks at three people who knew him in an earthly way before his crucifixion and resurrection, and afterward, came to understand the eternal truth of Jesus Christ that changed their lives for eternity. This musical will help you to see beyond the “story” of Jesus to the personal reality of what His death and resurrection mean to us.
