I am a big fan of the Chosen mini-series. For the past six years, The Chosen has followed Christ, and the Chosen through the Gospel story.

I can be a little slow at times but I was three seasons in before I realized that the title wasn’t referring to Jesus, but to his disciples.

Not everyone is a fan. That’s ok. The Chosen is not inspired. It’s not infallible. Dallas Jenkins, the creator and director of The Chosen, will be the first to admit that his imagination plays a big part in his depiction of the Jesus story.

I am amazed at how many criticisms of the show aren’t conflicts between the show and the Bible, but conflicts between the show and how people have interpreted the Bible.

Recently, there was an uproar over how angels are portrayed. Apparently, they were portrayed differently than many people thought they should be.

In response, Jenkins posted, “Some people make ‘certainty’ an idol.”

We should be certain of some things like our faith in Christ. But what angels may or may not look like might not be one of those things.

Perhaps we need to be careful about confusing what the Bible says with what we think it says.

Have a great week, and remember: To see what is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
