God has sent a powerful message to the world via Denzel Washington, clocked in an action movie titled “The Book of Eli.” If you are a Christian and have not seen this movie, view it with both some Christian and non-Christian friends. Let me share how I came to appreciate the movie.
I was going to the movies one day to see an entirely different movie. When I got there the movie I had gone to see was damaged in some way and could not be viewed. I began to pray because I knew I had prayed about going to the movie and knew I was supposed to go. I prayed looked up and God said to me, “Go see, “The Book of Eli.” I had to question for a moment what I was hearing. I knew nothing at all about the movie, never heard of it before. I walked over to the movie poster on the theater wall… Denzel Washington, not really a fan…looks like an actions flick, really not a fan…. seems almost like the film is militaristic, not something I would like… I could not seem to get really, what the movie was supposed to be about. This was exactly what God intended, not just for me but also for people in general.
Convinced now that I heard from God correctly I buy my ticket, go in, sit down, and watch the film. It took me, a somewhat spiritually savvy person, a little while to get where this film was going but when I did and God reveals the true mission of this Eli character, played by Denzel Washington, it is one of the most powerful spiritual messages I have seen in the public arena in years. No, I will not tell you what it is; I will not give the film away in that manner. You will have to get past some ugly language on the part of the bad guys aka the evil characters of the film; but without getting the message of their depravity across through their ugly and crass ways, the spiritual message would not be as powerful.
A must see…rent it, view it, - I bought it - have your commitment to stand for God renewed.
