This show has helped increase my connection & understanding with those in the bible. It is much easier (and more fulfilling in my opinion) to watch something that brings together the history, characteristics, & humanness of who we have read about for the past couple hundred years. This show is a huge wake up call to break out of the mindset that whom we have read about, are not one dimensional people who Jesus called. As we know this is NOT true, yet it has been difficult (for me at least) to imagine his disciples with normal everyday lives... people with relationships & a personal history. I love how this show focuses on everyone’s first initial reactions when they are called by Jesus or hear the Gospel. And then Jesus Himself! I love seeing Him as a man. As someone who really dealt with humanness... as again we KNOW He did but to really have it laid out in front of you like this is just *wow* to me. & His sense of humor has really struck me. I don’t know why I would have never thought about Jesus acting silly with children... I kind of always pictured Him as this serious, but loving & caring man. There have been so many eye opening characteristics that have been shown through this series. & whether true or just based on interpretation, this is a pure & honest representation of Christ the Messiah and the beginning of the Gospel. I thought Mary’s salvation was beautiful, & to see Him as a kid... I could really go on forever. This show is amazing & I encourage everyone to watch it and pay it forward & support this. I cannot even imagine what the resurrection of Christ would be like watching it from this series. Everything has been so so good.
