My husband and I love to watch The Chosen and if you're unfamiliar, The Chosen is put on by I think they're called Angel Media, but it is a 100% free series on Jesus. Now if you're thinking old school Christian publication and especially free views, it's probably going to be low key budget, low key acting, whatever, no, y'all. This is like, I swear, like the best quality I have ever seen and truthfully, the reason that we like to watch these shows is because, you know, if you grew up in Sunday school culture, especially down here in the South, you have the Felt Board Sunday School where it was the Felt Board Noah and the Felt Board Ark and the Felt Board Jesus and it was great because it was like told the stories and I remember those stories. I'm not knocking it, but just the way life is, it is so easy to forget that the Bible is not a fiction story that we, um, it, it just, it's not like we think it's a fairytale, but sometimes I know that I really do not consider the fact that Joseph and Noah and Isaac and Abraham, like they were legitimately real human beings and it just brings the human element to life, especially with Jesus and his disciples. Like if we were to record all of the words, teachings, happenings, miracles of Jesus, it would, the world would be covered in books. There's absolutely no way to fully capture the ministry and life of Jesus. And so there are so many stories of the Bible that leave me wanting more. And so to see Jesus, a lot of it is creative liberties. They have worked with theologians and scholars to be sure that they're not portraying anything that would be incorrect. However, you see at the wedding in Cana, you see them and you see the buddies like arm and arm laughing at one of their friends who they, what they say, dances like a two left footed camel or something. They were legitimately real people. And to think about that brings to life the faith and it brings the hope that we read in scripture to resonate so much more when we remember that it is factual. It is real life. It is reality.
