Jesus Film

Have you ever watched this? I never had seen this movie but heard about it a lot from C4C folk. It doesn't have Dolby Digital Surround Sound or Lucasfilm effects but it surprisingly packs some punch.  Yea, its cheesy in a few spots but I enjoyed seeing the accounts of Jesus talking and eating with the disciples. It was easier to see the personable nature of Christ. There are a few things I would have liked to see changed (i.e. transfiguration scene, it was weak), but a thought provoking change on the movie reel. Helps to attach the reality of easily glanced over moments in Christ's life. Such as the filling of the nets with fish and the calming of the sea. The parable of the sower and the analogy of the light on a stand. Watch it here. Since it's original release in 1979 it has been translated into over 1,120 languages. Pretty cool. For more info go to the website.

Praise Him This Resurrection Sunday

But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes.
The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.”
Then they remembered that he had said this. So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles what had happened. But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it. However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings; then he went home again, marveling at what had happened.
