FROM THE PASTOR
Throughout the Easter Season, as well as through the rest of the year, we hear that Jesus has conquered or defeated death and sin through His own death and Resurrection. In our day and age, it’s easy for us to take the gift of salvation for granted, and maybe even to downplay the greatness of the gift of eternal life that God offers to us. And, to more fully understand the gravity of what took place through Jesus’ passion, death, and Resurrection, it’s good for us to have more of an understanding of what it is that He saved us from. At the same time, I think the fact that the words conquered and defeated with regards to Jesus’ action are significant. If something is conquered or defeated, the implication is that a battle exists. And that battle is often invisible, and it’s one that we’re all engaged in whether or not we realize it.

We know that, through the fall of man, sin and death entered into the world that God had just recently created. When Adam and Eve encountered the serpent in Genesis 3, Adam and Eve were deceived by the serpent (behemoth – scary snake, not a cute little garter snake) who sewed seeds of doubt in them which led to

********************

The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
