Our God Reigns

I read the Bible a lot. Most of you do as well. Sometimes for me, there are places where it just feels like there are words on a page and they don't make sense in my life or in my head. We were all given the opportunity to watch The Bible series in which we were taken through all of the Bible. I know that some things were false, and some people didn't like it but if you gave it a chance you could get something really special out of it.

I was tentative about watching it at first because I had watched the Passion of the Christ before and it made me miserable for days. I couldn't shake the feeling that I deserved to die because of what man kind did to Jesus. There was so much violence and blood and horror and it made me feel guilty. I am not sure if you have seen the movie but I would not recommend showing it to anyone that is young. It really scared me. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started watching this new series but I was so impressed. This series made the Bible come to life for me. It made sense of everything that I was unsure of and it made me ask questions and look things up in scripture.

The other amazing thing about this series was that for this past month it was one of the most highly watched shows in such a long time. News stations, comedians and talk show hosts were stuck on this series. There were so many  advertisements for this series. Regardless of how you felt about the way that they told the story of the Bible, this series was watch my millions of non-believers. This show provided a chance for all of us to be a witness to all those who are lost. It left people with questions and when they come looking for answers are you going to be ready to answer those questions?

We watched the story about God's people preaching the wonders of Jesus Christ. We also watched them get beaten down and persecuted and even killed but that did not stop them from proclaiming the name and the life of Jesus Christ. That did not stop them from sharing the news that God sent His son to save us and that we have been saved. So now as we sit, safe in our homes we too have the opportunity to share with everyone that we have all been saved. There are still people who are persecuted for proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ but over here we have millions of chances and resources to get the Word out.

If this series has done nothing else but set you on fire for Christ then that's worth it. Watching, and taking in each and every disciple and compile the work that Jesus did during His time on this earth, has set me on fire. I want to share the message but I cannot do it alone. Let's take a step forward together and spread the great news that Jesus Christ died to save us and to forgive our sins. We cannot keep quiet we need to shout it out because our God reigns.
