A Thousand Days To Change The World

So little is known about Jesus of Nazareth before he started his ministry at the age of 30. His ministry only lasted three years, of which much has been written, but vital information about Jesus, the man, if it ever was written, has not survived. This either intrigues believers, or they just gloss over it, saying that it is unimportant; what matters is who he was and what he achieved. If we want to know more about Jesus as a person, to try to understand more fully how and why he did the things he did, we are in the realms of fiction. This is a fictional account of one part of that life; the forty days and nights he spent in the wilderness prior to commencing his ministry. What was it like? How did he survive the fasting and the solitude? What was he doing and thinking all this time - because it is a long time?
This is a 'first-person' account of his coming to terms with the work that lay ahead of him; his preparation; his internal struggle between his human and divine nature. How much of this did he know before? How much did he know about what lay ahead, and that he only had about one thousand days to achieve it? All we know for certain is how he dealt with the temptations, but what other issues were there to contend with? This story is like that of a chrysalis as it goes through that miraculous stage prior to the emergence as a beautiful butterfly. It is a struggle for life itself, but with a spectacular ending and freedom.
