The latest entry in my Jesus film podcast is up, and this month I'm talking about Jesus (1999). That's eleven entries now which means I've been going for a year now (as I didn't do one in December last year. By the way, does anyone know what the podcast equivalent of a blogiversary?).
The other ten talks (Jesus of Nazareth, Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Jesus of Montreal, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Miracle Maker, Il Messia, King of Kings, Last Temptation of Christ and Life and Passion of Jesus Christ are all still available to download.
This is my favorite film about the Lord Jesus and whenever I want to be spiritually stronger, I look at it. It
ReplyDeleteis true that there are additional scenes, the assumption that it was
this way or the way, but there are not so many of them, how much in
other films they want to describe the Lord as if he never laughed in
life. I do not like those pathetic images that do not suit his character at all. The Lord Jesus is good, gentle, understandable, he sees with love, and not who is lost. He teaches people, he is lifelong, brave and rejoices to each of their victories. Even
from the cross, he looked at them with love, and this is proved by his
words: "God, forgive them, because they do not know what they are
doing." When we love people as he loves them, then we will know his real nature. I like how Jeremy Sisto wants to portray him as one of us, who is looking forward to and sharing with us together
Thanks for that. Glad this one is a favourite and hope you found it useful.
