Davinchi Code

So i went to see the flick last night.. Mostly because people were saying NOT to go.. I'm such a punk that I will do something if someone tells me NOT to do something.

There's a part in the movie where Tom Hank's Charector is talking about whether to let the "secret" out of the bag about the heir of Jesus. He talks about when he was 7 and was stuck in a well and called out to Jesus. He said "does it really matter if Jesus was a man or divine? Either way, I called out to him, and either way He gave me hope".. I guess that's the point of the movie.. Does it really matter that Jesus was divine?

I was chewing on that for the rest of the night, and as I drove to work this morning I cried because I know that it is. How hopeless my life would be if He was just a man. I don't want another human to look up to. Humans fail us, humans will dissapoint, humans consistantly do the wrong thing. I need a super hero. I need the Divine someone who is not like me in any way. Someone who can not only help with problems, but solve them for me. Someone who's affections are set on me, and has limitless rescources. To look at Jesus in any other way is hopeless.. it's one of those all or nothing things. Either Jesus is Divine, or He's a phoney!

I am so glad that I know the REAL Jesus, His life is not hidden in a code, or some mystery that I have to uncover. He is real to me, and makes Himself known to me every day as I reach out to Him. There is NOTHING less that would be satisfying.

PS. the movie stinks, bad screenplay and bad acting.. so it's a renter for SURE :)
