There's been alot of talk these days in the Christian community about the movie based on Dan Brown's fictional novel, The DaVinci Code. It's a spy-thriller about a cover-up that hid the fact that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and that the "myth of his divinity" was written into the Bible by Constantine in 325 A.D. There's alot of great Biblical scholarship out there that shows that this is simply not true. Many are saying, "Boycott!" I disagree.
While I'm not a big fan of boycotts, I am a big fan of dialoguing with people about Jesus. This movie will give us an opportunity to do that.
Once the movie comes out, ask people if they've seen it. No matter whether or not you or they have, tell them, if they're interested, about the story of Jesus. "Hey, do you know why Jesus wasn't married?" "Do you know why He had to die on the cross?"
