on fireMay 19, 2006, Columbia Pictures released the $125-million-dollar film, "The Da Vinci Code." Everyone has been talking about Jesus. Already, many have formed their opinion of Jesus based on the novel, "The Da Vinci Code," which has sold more copies than any other fictional work in U.S. history. As the movie is released, Christians worldwide will have a unique opportunity to engage in conversations about Jesus.
We need not fear this dialogue nor be intimidated by it. We do need to be equipped with the historical facts about the authenticity of the Scriptures and the divinity of Jesus. We are reminded...
"...always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence..." (1 Peter 3:13 - 15, NASB)
The 2005 release of "The Passion of the Christ" opened the door for thousands of spiritually hungry people to be introduced to Jesus. Is it obvious that we are in a spiritual battle as this new movie comes with fiction that poses as fact?
Our world is spiritually confused and searching. There are people all around who are looking for answers. Equip yourself. Know where to send them for open and frank discussion of the facts... and pray.
Pray for the moviegoers... that they will question what they see and hear. Pray for truth to be revealed. Pray that they will find the answer to their hearts longing in a relationship with the divine Jesus. Pray that the wealth generated will not be at the expense of the faith of many.
Father God,
We ask for Your truth to be revealed. We ask that this entertainment will propel people to seek out truth; to ask questions and to be drawn to the living Jesus. Give us courage to speak up. Thank You for the resources available and for the people who are ready to engage in this dialogue over the internet. We ask for Your Holy Spirit to be at work in a powerful way in this whole event. In the strong name of the living Jesus we pray, amen.
