Friday, March 27, 2009. We have been watching Slumdog Millionaire yesterday evening in our Christian house group. Its a fantastic film, showing the life of a kid growing up in some Indian slum, who finally wins a Million in a TV show. It shows the many parts of his life integrated into the questions he gets on the show - with a lot of violence in between, with the misery of the slums, with his struggle out of it. It is nice to see a film which is at the same time linking into the world of love and dreams and having a sense of reality throughout, the tough facts of life, the problems which many of us face in this world.

I think that the stories which Jesus tells are partly of this kind. The bible wants to drag us on the level of our dreams as well as reality and facts. The promises God gives touch deep longings of every human to find a home, to be accepted as a person, to find love and support and appreciation. At the same time Jesus talks about facts, the hardships of life, the losses and daily problems.

But the bible is much more than a film! It is a book for life. Jesus claims that he comes to reconcile us with God. He comes with the power and possibilities of the eternal God, linking them into our daily life. Jesus presence through his Holy Spirit is not only a nice idea, but much more, it is a reality which is harder, deeper and more real than anything else what we believe to be fact.
