Today I went to see one of the best and most thought provoking Christian movies today, Do You Believe? I think that everyone needs to see it. It brings up some thought provoking questions. Do you believe in the power of the cross?
The cross is powerful. Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for our sins. That is powerful. Jesus loved the us so much that he gave his life to save us from our sins. That is some love and power. Do you believe in that power?
The cross is central to this movie. The cross is brought up multiple times in the movie. It makes you think about what the cross really stands for. It makes you think about its power.
I have never really thought about the power of the cross till I watched this movie. I always wear a cross around my neck and often have a cross hanging from the rear view mirror in my car. I even draw pictures of crosses all the time. I have never thought about the power of the cross.
John 3:16 talks about the power of the cross. It is a central verse to those who are new to the faith or to those wanting to share their faith with others. This is the first verse that I learned as a child. My great-aunt Virginia always said that this verse will be one that you can use to bring others to Christ.
Romans 5:8 says But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Christ died for us on the cross. That is powerful. When the movie began it started with a bible verse that would make you think. James 2:17 says The same is true with faith. Without actions, faith is useless. By itself, it’s as good as dead.
That says that if we believe in the power of the cross we need to act on that faith. We need to live a life full of the faith in the power of the cross. If we don't then the power of the cross is meaningless.
So if you are interested in a thought provoking movie that will make you think about the power of Christ and the cross then you need to see this movie. It will make you think and change your life.
