An alternate ending …

Not only do I like movies, I’ve always enjoyed going to see a movie in a theater when it’s first released.

If you’re also a movie fan, there are probably a couple types of movies you’ve watched …

The movie that’s really good, maybe even riveting, but the ending is so great it just ties the whole film together for a magnificent end …

… or a movie that’s good UNTIL the ending, which is so bad you walk out disappointed with a bad finish.

Getting the end of a great story right really impacts the overall story. Just Google “alternate endings to movies” and you’ll find multiple articles telling you real stories about how some movies almost had a much worse … or better … ending than they actually did.

The life of Christ wasn’t a movie but it is the greatest story ever told … complete with an alternate ending.

You see, before Jesus, when a life ended — when a person died — death always won.

Always!

But with Jesus, on that first Easter, we get an alternate ending. The new version of life in, through, because of Christ is that death is defeated, and there’s the victory of eternal life with God as our new “ending.”

I told you it’s the greatest story ever told, and best alternate ending EVER!
