Indiana Jones
So i’ve been watching the past couple nights the Indiana Jones movies and hey look i added a picture to make this blog look a little bit fancier. And as for the last post it says in the beginning a description about Caroline Pt. 2 however, there’s no mention of Caroline anywhere so just disregard that whole thing.
Anyways… i’ve been watching these movies (which i’ve actually never seen before) and they really stand out to me. Most movies of this genre try to play God off as not real and fake because it’s history, factual and all about truth. But, these are very well put together with God sort of as a character (at least in the first one).
THE MEANING OF INDIANA JONES:
As i’ve watched them i realized that in life we search for things when we have nothing to guide us there. We have relationships with nothing to build off of. We have certain beliefs but no evidence to support them. Indiana Jones has it a bit different. You hear him say how amazing a certain piece of history is, but everyone around him thinks he’s crazy. Then, he finds his evidence and everyone believes he’s amazing and they want what he has.
i feel like this is what my relationship with God should be. i know He’s there and i know He’s working through me. But, people look at me and say “yeah right” and then, i show them and tell them to look at what God has done for me and then, they immediately want what i have. and it’s not material, it’s spiritual. they want to feel the passion and need for a Saviour King.
ANOTHER MEANING:
i’ve also seen these movies kind of work into my relationships with people. again, there are people that we say we are friends with, but there is no foundation whatsoever to support such a claim. they see how i am with others and i show them the evidence or structure of that friendship and then, they want it and want to jump right into it. but, it takes more than just one day. it takes more than just one night. it’s more than even a week. a friendship is two things and if one person is working towards and the other is not, then it’s not a friendship. it’s working for something you never had to begin with. trust me, with my experience, i try my best to work with people to get on the level of being as close to them as possible, but here are the reasons that draw me back:
1. if they can’t accept my past, then they can’t accept me now.
2. if they can’t accept me now, then really what’s the point?
3. if they can’t accept my other friends.
Indiana Jones showed me that friendships need support. We must look for more and more evidence, structure, and history of someone to support the friendship.
