Actor Reminds Followers of the Importance of Their Testimony
By Movieguide® Contributor
VAMPIRE DIARIES and HACKSAW RIDGE actor Nathaniel Buzolic recently shared a photo from a purported biblical location with a message from scripture.
“I took the above photo in the location which is considered to be the place where Jesus would meet a man plagued by many demons who was now living among the tombs,” Buzolic captioned a photo of a mountainside.
“To the right of this mountain side are still visible caves to this day,” he continued. “These Caves most likely were the place where the dead would have been buried. Further to the right is a hillside that will lead you right into the Galilee sea.”
His caption continued:
As the gospel events goes in both Mark and Luke – Jesus casts out the demons from this man and into a herd of pigs and those pigs would run down into the hillside into the Galilee drowning themselves.
No one could save this man, but one. The one who came looking for him. Jesus.
But even after this man was healed The people of the surrounding towns didn’t celebrate what miraculous work Jesus had done but rather begged him to leave this place. Thus he would.
We actually have three beggars in the story if you look closely.
– the demons begging to be placed into pigs
– the towns people begging Jesus to leave
&
– the healed man begging to now Go with Jesus.
2 out of 3 got what they wanted. The healed man didn’t get what He initially wanted, but He did get to have a testimony of God’s glory to others.
What’s better? Getting what we want? Or getting a testimony to share God’s glory?
If you can’t answer that question. Revisit the two parties that got what they wanted and tell me if it worked out for them?
Buzolic’s caption is a wonderful reminder to think about desires and to always be on the lookout for moments to share our testimony.
The actor often shares photos from biblical locations, accompanied by his reflections on scripture. Movieguide® previously reported:
HACKSAW RIDGE actor Nathaniel Buzolic recently shared his thoughts on a trip to Biblical landmark Mount Hermon.
“The highest point in ALL of Israel,” he reminded followers in his caption. “And this is the location I believe most likely to be the place where Jesus would transfigure and reveal His true Glory to 3 disciples. It would also be here that Peter, James and John would see Jesus talking with Moses and Elijah.”
Buzolic continued, “Prior to this awesome event that is recorded in the gospels Jesus takes His disciples to Caesarea Philippi which sits at the bottom of this mountain range. From here departing this mountain range Jesus will have a Jerusalem in His sights, which will lead him to his triumphant entry into the city of the great King.”
He then shared Psalm 133:1-3 with his followers:
A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard —Aaron’s beard— coming down on the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon, coming down upon the mountains of Zion. For there Adonai commanded the blessing —life forevermore!
“Unity and the blessing coming down,” Buzolic wrote. “Unity – Jesus with his core group and His prophets of old. Jesus reveals his true identity to the disciples and from here will enter Jerusalem to complete the work that The father had sent him to do. To make a way of salvation for the lowest and the greatest. For the Jew and the gentile.”
“From the highest mountain of israel to the holiest mountain of israel mount zion – Jesus will go!” the actor concluded.
