I hope that you are having a wonderful week.
We have been getting a crazy amount of rain today, and the forecast says it will continue through Sunday. I pray that everyone stays safe.
As we enter the Easter season, I encourage everyone to reflect on what that means to each of us. Without it, the Christian faith has no basis. It is the foundation of our faith. I encourage everyone to watch the latest season of ‘The Chosen’—The Chosen: Last Supper.
Under the direction of Dallas Jenkins, Season Five showcases the story of Jesus Christ and His followers, focusing on the most critical week in the history of the world – Holy Week. The people of Israel welcome Jesus into Jerusalem as king while His disciples anticipate His crowning. However, instead of confronting Rome, Jesus turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power is threatened, and the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last. In a beautiful cinematic format, The Chosen: Last Supper brings audiences to witness the events of Holy Week in this special three-part theatrical release.
The Chosen: Last Supper is a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season series shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. What is so captivating is that you’re drawn into the scene, looking at the disciples, asking questions, and seeking understanding. For example, we seek knowledge if there’s a verse we don’t understand; we ask God to reveal the meaning to us.

It’s hard to believe we are in the first week of spring and will soon be celebrating Easter. As we approach Easter, reflecting on what Jesus’ death means to His followers is essential. This year, the next season of THE CHOSEN will help with that.

The people of Israel welcome Jesus into Jerusalem as king while His disciples anticipate His crowning. However, instead of confronting Rome, Jesus turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival.

Happy Sunday and Happy February! We pray that you are having a wonderful and blessed day! Can you imagine we are already into the second month of the year? How are those New Year’s resolutions going for you? My hubby and I found out long ago that resolutions do not work. Instead, we focus on goals with more attainable results. For example, we do not say we want to “read more.” Instead, we say we want to finish one book each month. We found that this has an end result with a clear completion path.
If you are saying for 2025, you want to draw closer to God and develop a closer relationship with Him, you need to consider the Jesus Daily Bible. There are so many amazing features of this Bible that you will want to add it to your library. Its focal point is the 52-week thematic reading plan that shows Jesus throughout the Bible, even in the Old Testament. You may wonder where Jesus is in the Old Testament. This Bible will show you Jesus’s central role from Genesis to Revelation. Each week’s readings also have an in-depth introduction that sets the stage for what you will be studying. The “Who, What, When, Where” layout is easy to understand and provides the proper context for the readings. Additional articles, charts, and infographics are included to expand each week’s theme. The weekly summaries reinforce the key takeaways and applications for life. I found this a bonus when you can apply it personally and use it as your bible study.

It’s been a winter wonderland here in the Midwest, and I enjoy every minute of it. Except for the sleet and ice, thank goodness for my Yaktrax, which has helped my husband and me walk on snow that has now turned into ice. I know we would be slipping and sliding if we did not have those genius contraptions on our shoes.
Speaking of slipping and sliding, do you make New Year’s resolutions? If so, do you stick with it? I find that resolutions do not work for me. Instead, I have to talk through goals, ask the Lord what He wants me to do, and then plan accordingly. One of those goals is reading through the Chronological Bible in a year. Praise God, my husband and I have been reading through the Bible with Tara Leigh Cobble, and 2024 was our fourth year, and we are doing the plan this year as well.

The Bubbling with Elegance and Grace team had the opportunity to review the newly published Jesus Daily Bible (Christian Standard Bible) published by Dwayne Milioni and CSB Bibles by Holman.

The Jesus Daily Bible has a beautiful hardbound cover, and the pages are not flimsy and thin like many Bibles. The ribbon marker keeps your place while reading. The 9.5 font type size is easy to read.

Happy New Year!
We are starting a new year, and I pray it will be filled with abundant blessings. Maybe 2024 did not turn out as you wanted or planned. But know that God is just and faithful. He will never leave you or forsake you. He is always there to comfort you and give you the encouragement to continue the journey through life. I am reminded of these verses in Lamentations;
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
(Lamentations 3:22-23)
Knowing that God loves us so much and cares deeply about us is a wonderful thing. His grace is sufficient to sustain us through it all. No matter what comes our way, God gave us His Son Jesus for us.
One of the ways that our family does not lose hope in God’s blessings is to focus on the Christmas story for more than just the Christmas season. It is so easy to get caught up in the moment of the holidays, with gift-giving and social gatherings, that we fail to remember that the season is truly about the birth of Jesus. Without the birth of Jesus, we have no basis for our Christian faith. Learning who Jesus was as a man and knowing the context in which He lived has become an essential part of our spiritual growth. When we began reading the Christmas book by Bible scholar Rick Renner, our eyes were opened to the whole context of Jesus, His earthly family, and the area where He grew up. If you are looking for a book that offers a complete context of the Christmas story that cannot be found in the Bible, we recommend getting a copy of this book HERE. In addition to the book, you will also purchase audio and video recordings of Renner going into further detail about the book.
Giveaway Winner Announcement In the spirit of giving for Christmas, we offered our community a chance to win a copy of Renner’s book. Congratulations to
~~ SUE E. ~~

The Bubblingwitheleganceandgrace.com team would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Whether celebrating with family and friends or not, remember you are never alone. God is for you, and Jesus loves you. Today, my hubby and I read and reflected on Luke Chapter 2, which has become a Christmas tradition in our home.
