T he only good news that we ought to know and remember is that Jesus Christ had already won the war against sin and death. He has made it possible for us to join Him in the afterlife. All we need now to do is accept Him as He is. God is alive today and it may be sometimes be difficult to see this. The world and its demonic nature has still made it look like that only worldly things matter and that the ultimate goal of each one is to achieve their own personal happiness. This is the biggest lie of all, that we should do all to make us happy. Individual happiness at the expense of someone else is the biggest deception of all. The truth is, our lives are never really about us. It is ultimately about God and about others. It is about how you can provide and give joy even at our own expense. This is the model of ultimate and genuine love that Jesus shown us at the cross. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s frie...
There has never been a movie or TV series that has made me cry so many times except for the independent movie series called the Chosen. It is the story of those people that Jesus Christ chose to follow him during his time on Earth. It also features Jesus' story and shows His full humanity and full divinity as well.
I think even non-believers would find this series well made and very interesting. If some people find the likes of Lucifer and Loki series interesting, I think they'd be more interested on a person who is opposite both these characters.
Unlike any past Jesus movies, this series shows his human side and it shows him as a revolutionary who questions how the laws of God were ridiculously implemented, dances on parties, jokes with friends and like almost every man, has strong connection with his mother.
As of this writing, season 2 had just finished. Both seasons have 8 episodes each. I am among so many others that are eager for the next season. I sincerely pray that Dallas Jenkins and the entire crew and the entire cast of the Chosen be continually blessed by the Holy Spirit that they may be able to deliver the message of Jesus Christ in today's modern era. I hope and pray to God that they be given the strength to finish this in spite of their success today. They will touch a lot of hearts and they will be able to spread the Good News using today's technology.
I would want to write a summary of every episode and how it touched my heart if time will allow. But for here, I'd briefly describe how I honestly felt like while watching through seasons 1 and 2.
I was like Mary Magdalene when I felt so helpless and so lonely and thought about ending it all when my situation became so overwhelming.
I was like Simon Peter when I thought of unacceptable ways so I could take care of my family but sacrifice my colleagues.
I was like Matthew when I thought being talented and getting wealthy was more important than having a relationship with my own people.
I was like Nicodemus when I chose not to follow Jesus because it meant I have to give up my reputation and my comfort zone.
I was like them. Lost deeply in the jungle of life and Jesus found and forgave me someway, somehow.
I was like them, heading in the wrong direction of life.
But now, I find myself in the opposite direction. And what happened in between was my encounter with Jesus Christ.
