Perhaps we should consider persecution as a possible fate for ourselves in following Him.

Sadly, I think that's getting closer and closer. Right now it's at the level of "pyschic pain" - that is, being ridiculed and insulted by high and low alike. But I suspect that more serious persecutions are on the way, probably starting with things like faithful, orthodox churches losing their tax exemption for opposing gay "marriage," etc. It will be incremental, until we're all the way illegal.

But maybe I'm just feeling apocalyptic and gloomy today because it's raining here...

And maybe this movie is in *this* time and place for the reasons you state. To prepare us for our own coming persecutions.
