Tonight I went to watch Risen

Risen is a 2016 American biblical drama film directed by Kevin Reynolds, and written by Reynolds and Paul Aiello. The film stars Joseph Fiennes, Tom Felton, Peter Firth, and Cliff Curtis, and is about a Roman soldier’s search for Jesus’ body following the Resurrection. Columbia Pictures released the film on February 19, 2016.

I was intrigued , even enjoyed it but I have to mention something here. There is a door that is wide open. Jesus leaves the scene in a flash of light and tells his disciples that He’s going to prepare a place for them . So that we’ll be left believing that when Jesus comes back that he’ll be coming with a city or something in order to acccomadate all the believers. This isn’t true. Jesus said those words before he went to the cross. When He died on the cross and rose again the work of preparing the place was already done. He said ‘ it is finished ! ‘ You are the place in which He now lives when you believe. This lie leaves the door wide open for an anti-christ to manifest himself saying I’ve prepared the place for you and if you’d just join us you’ll be in. Beware a little leaven spoils the whole lump !
