While Zack might be asking the question of whether of not we should 'behold' movies and T.V, I am going to try to avoid controversy (for now) and continue to 'behold and bless the Lord' instead. I don't have a specific verse for the night, just a series of thoughts. On Thursday nights our prayer room team takes communion together. It is amazing how much more impact the cross will have when you have been meditating on the incarnation. Suddenly the phrase, "This is my body broken for you," means a whole lot more when you realize that it is GOD who is speaking. Not only did the eternal second person of the trinity take on the likeness of sinful flesh and dwell among sinful humanity, but He laid down His life to redeem us to Himself. He allowed His flesh to be torn, He allowed His blood to be poured out.
It is stunning and offensive and when it really impacts your heart, it is much more fascinating than any T.V show could ever be.

I am going to have to put my head in a sack and breathe rapidly if you don't post again soon.
