Betrayed but Not Forgotten!

We're well over half way through The Bible series on the History channel and time is slowing down a bit.  They now have three hours (two this week and one next week) to work with Jesus Christ and this episode was by far my favorite so far.  The writers and producers of this series have definitely been hinting at and pointing to the arrival of Jesus Christ for quite some time now and he is finally here!  I really enjoyed this episode and honestly can't wait until next week.

Things they missed:

1. Story line: Ask someone to follow along with the episodes with the one of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) in their lap and he or she might get confused trying to follow along.  There were a myriad of things out of place with the actual timeline of Jesus' ministry like the death and resurrection of Lazarus as well as Jesus' meeting with Nicodemus just to name a few.  It would do one well to read through the gospels again to remind oneself of what really happened and in what order.  Jesus didn't share the parable of the Tax Collector to Matthew when he called him (though Matthew was likely present) and events such as the Sermon on the Mount and the feeding of the 5,000 were not that close together in time. Nicodemus is another man that receives a lot play in this series, but he really is only in John 3 and in the end of John when he and Joseph buy the burial plot for Jesus together.
