Actress Elizabeth Tabish says a war-torn world needs to hear the messages of peace and hope that are the focus of an upcoming special Christmas-themed movie based on The Chosen.

 

That movie, Christmas with The Chosen: Holy Night, will be in theaters for six nights, Dec. 12-17, blending two Nativity-flavored episodes — “The Messengers” and “The Shepherd” —into one remastered and re-scored story. It also includes a performance by Andrea and Matteo Bocelli.

 

“There's so much pain going on in the world right now. There's so much tragedy,” Tabish told Christian Headlines. “... [The movie] is about the birth of Jesus. And it's told through a few different perspectives. But all of it comes down to this beacon of hope, which is the Christ child and the peace and joy and freedom that comes with that and with Him.”

 

The two episodes, she added, are “edited together in this really seamless way” where it “almost feels like it's always been told this way.”

 

Tabish also is anticipating Season 4 of The Chosen which will land in theaters early next year. It is believed to be the first time that the full season of a streaming series has debuted at the box office prior to landing on its traditional platform. 

 

The acting by her castmates in the season, she said, is “incredible.”

A Prayer for Overcoming Doubt with Divine Assurance - Your Daily Prayer - September 19 

One morning, in my study of 1 Thessalonians, I read these words from Paul in 5:1-11, lingering over our key verse, “But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.” As he often does, Paul reminds believers that they are soldiers in God’s army and must prepare and protect themselves for battle.
