just got back from a long day at church. went for double svc today. hehe. 830 sanctuary, then ss class followed by 1030 yss. hehe. watched narnia too! it was such a sad but happy movie. :D but i bet its gonna be one of my favourite movies. along with a walk to remember. :D alot of stuff from the movie really made me feel so touched.
1. the greatness of forgiveness - the part where aslan said to susan, peter and lucy when edmund returned to the good side, and they welcomed him back so freely. i guess this is how god is. even though we may fall over to the bad side, god will still welcome us back into his kingdom when we repent and realise our mistakes. cos he loves us so much!
2. how aslan died in place of edmund. how aslan was so willing to let the witch kill him. and let edmund go free, even though edmund was a traitor, and the traitors had to die. its like. whoa.. its just like jesus dying on the cross for us sinners. taking away the pain and suffering we otherwise will have to suffer. mhmmm.
3. the devotion of the good people to fight for a free narnia. like the centaur (during the battle scene where he wanted to kill the witch) and tumnus the faun (in prison at the castle of the witch) and the fox (when he told the wolves the direction in which the children went) and many many more. i would want to have this kind of devotion and determination. this kind of spirit that lives for not what i want but for god.
4. the wickedness of the witch made me realise how crafty satan is. and how we always fall short because he makes us stumble. he always finds something to make us trip and fall and even betray the people that we love. like how edmund fell into the witch's trap because he was seeking for things that were self-centered. and we may even spiral into deeper trouble because we want to make up for our mistakes, but things just seems to get worse. like how edmund tried to save the fox by spilling out what he had heard from the beavers about aslan's and his siblings' whereabouts, but the witch turned the fox into stone anyway. so, satan can make use of us too.
actually. there were lots more throughout the course of the show. but i just cant remember. the show was a good one. seriously. alot to learn from it. and i do want to read the book if i have time to.. and if its not difficult to follow. haha. anyway. its highly recommended by me! :D go watch it if you havent!
a shout of praise.
