In His Steps

Mary and I watched this old movie tonight, and I thought I'd share it with you.
It's a black-and-white 1964 production of "In His Steps", based on the following scripture from 1 Peter chapter 2:

"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"

1 Peter 2:21

We enjoyed the encouraging & pointed message in this film, of living for Jesus Christ, being a disciple of Jesus Christ, come what may. At first, I was afraid it was going to be a compromised message of a social gospel, but I was wrong. I cheered, for example, as one prominent character came to saving faith in Jesus Christ, and again as another old gentleman briefly testified that he witnessed for Jesus for the first time to some men at work.

Some will find this film corny, campy, unrealistic, or boring. By Hollywood's standards, in the year 2014 AD, maybe so. But not to me. The level of acting, the scenery, lighting, camera work, the sound effects, all the temporal stuff that we place so much value on, all these are subordinate to the message this film is sending: living for Jesus Christ in the real world. I found it to be clean, simple, and real. My spirit is refreshed from watching it. I hope it blesses you, too.

Paul.

For some reason, whoever owns the rights to this film have pulled it from free public access, and have made available only this "Evaluation Copy." But I would challenge you to at least watch it though once, even so. Still lifts my soul.
