The One

I was watching The Matrix again this evening, my all-time favourite movie. Most Christians who enjoy the Matrix enjoy the parallel between Neo and Jesus. Personally, I think of myself as Neo. Woah! No, not as The One, but as someone who needs to learn to believe that they are capable, to live by faith in the knowledge of God's provision, knowing the authority and power we've been given. So once again, I was incredibly convicted and challenged when the oracle said to Neo: it looks like you're waiting for something, another life maybe. It cut me up, because that's me. Waiting for another life when I'll be great. It's time to do it. To be great, to make a difference, to go and save the world, or at least save it to the extent of what God's given us the power to do.
