Review: People Who Met Jesus (Part 1)

If you are reading this review on the Sabbath, then I would like to wish you a Sabbath filled the comfort that God will direct your path, if you ask Him to.

This week’s review is the for the series, People Who Met Jesus, part one, produced by International Media Studies

Description

A series of eight short video stories about people who met Jesus.

The following is covered

Simon Peter

There is a basic introduction of how Peter was called by Jesus and how he was transformed into an apostle of Christ.

Matthew (Levy)

We hear how Matthew’s life was before and after meeting Jesus Christ and he became an apostle of Jesus.

The Centurion

The testimony about the centurion’s faith and how that saved his servant’s life, because he trusted in the authority of Jesus word.

The Woman at the Well

We hear the account of the woman who was met by Jesus at a well and the life transformation that happened as a result of it.  It’s incredible to think of how that woman was blessed by being in Jesus’ presence.

The Nobleman

Another testimony of Jesus healing based on someone’s faith.  In this case, a nobleman whose son was dying.  We see another example of the power of Jesus’ word and the need for us to have faith.

Jarius

A powerful account of a man whose daughter actually died and was raised by Jesus, in the midst of a woman who also needed help and literally reached out to Jesus, because of her faith in his authority.

The Rich Young Ruler

An account that leads to reflection on what comes first in our lives

Nicodemus

A wonderful account of what it means to be born again and have a new life, in Christ.  It is interesting that Nicodemus is not mentioned after the burial of Christ. I am curious if he continued his journey, in Christ.

These short dramas, depicting scripture were interesting and the presenter encouraged reflection.  I am looking forward to seeing part 2.

Thank you for reading this review. Until next time - peace be with you.
