God @ the Movies
We continued our God @ the Movies series. I love this series. But I'm not going to lie: it takes twice the preparation time. You have to exegete Scripture; exegete the movie; and then figure out how to juxtapose them.
I know at first earshot, it sounds like one of those watered-down or dumbed-down series, but it is honestly one of the most hard-hitting series we do. Somehow, the movies give you permission to talk about tough topics.
I think Spiderman 3 is a movie about waging war on your sin nature. Sin is symbolized by the symbiote that attaches itself to Spiderman and brings out the worst in him. Sin binds itself to us and turns us in the person we don't want to become. So where do you go when you don't like who you have become? It is symbolized so beautifully in the movie: You go the cross. Spiderman hears the church bells and is transformed beneath the cross.
