Hunter recently took me to see "Son of God" in the movie theaters. I thoroughly enjoyed this TRUE story. It was Biblically accurate with believable characters, stunning scenery, and dialogue that pulled you into the moment. To me, one of the most powerful scenes was when Jesus climbed into Peter's fishing boat and told Peter to join him in catching people. Peter then looked intently at Jesus and asked, "What are we going to do?" Jesus said, "We are going to change the world!" And isn't that exactly what Jesus did as he trained 11 men to go into the world and share the Kingdom of God?
I am so incredibly grateful that these men said yes to Jesus and even more grateful that Jesus said yes to God, his Father, and gave up his life for the world of sinners. His willing obedience was a key scene in the movie and one which touched my heart. The overall theme came from the lips of Jesus:
"God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who ever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16.
One day last week I was driving my four year old grandson to the library and he asked me, "Nani, does God have skin?" What a deep question from a little boy! "Yes," I answered. "His name is Jesus!"
Go see the film if you have not already done so. I believe we all need to be constantly reminded of the debt we owe our Savior!
