“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.”<\/em> – Jesus – John 14:27<\/a>

“I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you’ll have trouble, but be courageous\u2014I’ve overcome the world!”<\/em>
\n<\/span>\u00a0– Jesus – John 16:33<\/p>\n

Trouble…Jesus brought a very different sort of trouble to this world of ours…He turned over the tables of religious tradition, world powers, and cultural mores. When we see Him, we see the Father<\/a>. He served up mercy, justice, and humility<\/a>, and He loved all the way to the Cross and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Chosen<\/em><\/a> is an online TV series created and directed by Dallas Jenkins<\/a>. The statement of faith<\/a> posted by Jenkins includes the following: “The Chosen<\/em> is a narrative show, which means it’s not a documentary…it’s absolutely not a replacement for Scripture. It is not focused on religious tradition, but on Jesus. It’s a show…but it’s a high calling for me.”<\/p>\n
