The End is just the Beginning

It is finished! We celebrate these words during Resurrection Weekend and we heard them again on the final installment of The Bible on the History Channel.  I've have generally enjoyed the series, but most of all I have enjoyed the conversation that has grown out of it.  There is opportunity here, in this moment, to engage the world with Scripture, we MUST take it!  At least one Wal-Mart that I know of actually sold out of the DVDs of the series the first day they were available.  We can either use it or run from it, I hope we use it.

Things They Missed:

1. The Resurrection: It would have been nice to see the power of the resurrection take place.  We are brought immediately to the empty tomb but I would have liked to see how they would have portrayed the event.  This is not a big miss, I think they did okay, but the other issue I had was that (as Pastor Paul mentioned) it was still dark when Mary went to the tomb and it looked like it was about noon or at least late morning in the show.
