We watch interviews of our favorite celebrities, to see how
real they are. Fans follow their moves
through the year, and obviously, we flock to the movies
There is a reason that movies capture our attention so
much. Movies are a medium of
storytelling. We get lost in stories. We find our way in stories. We experience catharsis. We go on dangerous adventures. We hate the villains. We cheer for the heroes. And often we find ourselves.
Jesus knew the power of story. He captures our attention with his parables. He draws us in with conflict and intrigue as
he works miracles and challenges the religious authorities. Jesus told stories and lived stories.
Movies are powerful because they tell stories. And our own lives are stories, stories more powerful
than we know. May the stories we live eclipse
the stories we see.
