Jenn and I got the chance to go and see "The Nativity Story" tonight thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Tatum. The movie was great! It was Biblically accurate and well done. There are alot of things you will think about when viewing it that we often just dismiss and don't think about when we briefly read the Biblical texts. Watch the Trailer Here. There are several great moments when the relationship between Mary and Joseph gives a foretaste of Jesus' coming ministry.
Joseph offers the gift of grace to Mary as Jesus offers it to us. Mary washes Joseph's feet as Jesus washes his disciples feet. Joseph comments on the desecration of the temple in Jerusalem forshadowing Jesus' experience in the temple. This is a great movie and I am glad we got to see it. Go see it and support the ministry. The guy who spoke before the showing mentioned that he really hoped with the combination of "The Passion", "Narnia", and now "The Nativity" that there will be a new opening for the this sort of Christian genre. I would have to say that watching this movie as a couple who had just experienced having a newborn baby the movie's meaning was amplified for Jenn and I. We enjoyed it and had a great discussion afterword. Peace of Christ.
