BIBLICAL CRITIQUE/CONNECTIONS: SPOILER ALERT

LOVE, VIRUS:
It was an enjoyable movie to watch because it showed me the deep love of a mother for her son. The mother in the movie went to all lengths to save her son from the virus. In the movie, the son becomes the antidote to save humanity from the destruction of the virus.

It reminded me of the agape love God has for us. We see God going to all lengths to save us from the virus known as sin. In our lives, Jesus Christ, God’s Son came to provide the antidote to save us from the destruction and deadliest virus known as sin:

Being infected with a virus that is so deadly gave me no way out. It even started to affect my physical well-being. It was eating me on the inside. No earthly doctors who care for the physical health of people could heal me of this disease. There have been days it caused havoc in my life. I could have died with this virus still inside of me. I needed a transfusion badly that will wipe out the virus. I could receive the transfusion but a price had to be paid for that transfusion.

Usually, doctors charge us to heal us physically. But, in my case no amount of money could restore my health and my days were ticking away until one day death would come.

I was told of a doctor who specialized in helping people overcome this deadly infection of a disease but that doctor alone had the antidote and was not giving it out until I sought him. I did not want this disease to completely take over me and was desperate for an antidote.

That doctor had the antidote inside of him and it was the same color as my blood. For me to receive it meant, he would have to give up all his blood in the transfusion, so the deadly virus can be wiped away being covered by his blood in the transfusion.

This would allow the corrupted blood of mine because of the infection, to be covered over by the doctor’s cleansing blood that washes away the deadly virus inside of me.
The price was too much to pay but the doctor was willing to pay it.

Am I that valuable and important that a doctor was willing to go through a transfusion that would have given him so much excruciating pain?

In a blood transfusion, a doctor is involved; a donor is involved; the person accepting the transfusion, an intravenous needle, a tube, a bed, and the blood are used.

Not in this case though because an intravenous-needle and tube would not have accomplished the mission. Instead, three nails and a hammer were used!

Being on the bed would not accomplish the mission. Instead, the doctor had to be on the cross. Now, the transfusion was ready to begin as the blood flowed because of the three nails pounded into the body to suck out all the blood from the donor so the one who accepts the blood can receive the transfusion and completely be healed.

After what the doctor went through for me and provided the antidote, how could I refuse the transfusion and continue to live with this deadly disease! I did accept the transfusion offered to by the doctor.

To this day, I am covered by the blood of the doctor that wiped away the deadly virus inside of me. His blood cleanses me of this deadly virus as I turn to him and receive what he has done for me. Because of the sacrifice of the doctor, I was given new life.

I am talking about Jesus Christ being my Great Physician. He went to the cross to give me the antidote for my deadly infectious virus known as sin. His cleansing precious pure blood shed on the cross became my antidote to wash away and wipe away this deadly virus from my body. Jesus took the initiative to be my Great Physician and heal me. Jesus did not force me to accept the antidote but how could I refuse after what Jesus went through for me. Jesus went to the cross and went through excruciating pain so I could be in good spiritual health when I turn to Him. I have friend. You can too friend!

Ask Jesus to come cleanse you with His precious cleansing blood to take away all your sin! He will friend! Ask Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life! He will friend! Yes, He will.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.” (Ephesians 1:7-8, NIV)

To see how Jesus Christ took away your deadly virus known as sin, watch ‘The Passion of the Christ’ but especially read the BIBLE!

Questions to Ponder: SPOILER ALERT

1. Why were human beings made into emotionless beings and why does God want us to have free will when that will can be used for destruction of humanity too?

2. There were those that were immune from the attack of the enemy in the movie, why was that so? What connection can be made for our own lives to be immune from Satan? What do we have to do?

3. Those that were immune from the enemy, it was not because of anything they did on their own, but it was a gift they had received that they later realized. How is that similar to what God has done for us?

4. Would you rather live in a robotic world where everything is controlled or be willing to have free will, joy, and suffering? Why or why not?

5. What is the most important thing you took away from watching ‘The Invasion’?
