In many ways, this series is more about the people chosen by Jesus to follow Him than it is about Him and what He said and did. It\u2019s a film that everyone can relate to. To make that point, Jesus doesn\u2019t even make an appearance in the first episode until the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/steelehaven.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_8949-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>He doesn\u2019t look like much.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew it was coming and so I readied my phone to capture the moment. And I almost missed it because A) He\u2019s not really very impressive by human standards and B) I was more amazed by the many fireflies that had decided it was time to start their amazing light display in the darkness of the tent! Often, something wonderful is right in front of us.
