Online movie services are huge right now.
Why so popular?
The way these platforms provide on demand entertainment is part of it.
But they're tapping into something more...
They're meeting a need we have for stories.
We crave stories.
We think in stories.
And we love to see our lives within some exciting -- or at least interesting -- narrative... even if we have to identify with someone else's story to do it!
But we mustn't forget...
We're all part of the greatest story ever -- the adventure of God bringing light to the darkness, reclaiming the world, and restoring it to its original brilliant design.
And this story has everything you could hope for...
-- a cast of full of interesting characters
-- a setting encompassing all the variations of our world
-- a plot filled with suspense, calling for faith, wisdom and perseverance
-- conflict between good and evil
-- and a glorious conclusion... where all humanity follows the Lord Jesus Christ as King
Most exciting... we're a part of this story... which satisfies more than any movie can.
A movie can help us decompress, think about the world in a new way, or get inspired.
But nothing compares to seeing and living your place in God's grand narrative of redemption.
Enjoy your weekend!
And if you watch a movie, be sure and relate it to the bigger story God has for your life.
