I've been trying to practice my faith for the past 40 plus years and yet I have failed to read the entirety of the Bible. I have trouble finishing books as I get easily sleepy when reading even the best and most exciting novels or piece of literature. I've thought about getting audio books in Amazon to help with this or try to get more quality sleep with Chilisleep to see if I can stay awake longer but lately, I think I may have found a way to help me with finishing the Bible and it won't cost me a cent. In Youtube, I've found this video summaries of each of book of the Bible in the Bible Project Channel. I'm pretty sure that they aren't Catholic like myself but my plan is just get enough of an idea of each of the books, specially those in the Old Testament and then dig in on those that I will find most interesting first and work my way through it that way. I have subscribed on Youtube channel's Bible Project and I am a fan of their work. I reall
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.
