I am on some prescription pain meds right now, so I don’t know how this is going to sound, but I just watched the movie Crash for the 3rd time today. Everytime I see this film it moves me in a different way. I don’t know if I have ever seen a movie that is so powerful and TRUE. The movie portrays:
* Human brokenness
* Humanity’s loneliness and dire need for soul connection
* Humanity’s diversity and stereotypes that lead to pain
* Humanity’s cry for an unconditional love
Crash is interesting because it is probably one of the more vulgar (language mostly) films I have ever seen, but at the same time God works on me everytime I see it.
Some of you might not agree, but I think God loves moving and working through the dirt and through the trash of our lives. How much brighter does a light shine when its in the presence of pure darkness? How awesome is resurrection in light of Jesus’ horrid death? God’s great love and salvation is so incredible and indescribable because sin is so awful and leads to nothing but destruction. I think its in humanity’s lowest places where the world really reaches out for a something. They reach out for something that repairs brokenness and lifts up the brokenhearted and the hurt.
Its the job of the church (universal) to be Christ’s hands and feet on this earth. Let us shine a BIG light towards the ONE who renovated our broken and lonely hearts. Let us reach people where they are in their messiness, because we are all messy. Life is messy. Peace
