Movie Review III

I give this movie three thumbs down! Kent and I just stared at the screen at its' completion. We really enjoyed the first in the series and were stunned after this one. Until...God revealed Himself to me. On Monday, I was preparing to share with the Kidmo Kids about Christmas and the fact that God wants our heart for a birthday present this year and every year. You see, the entire plot is about Capt. Jack Sparrow as he searches for a key that will unlock a treasure chest containing the villian's, Davey Jones, heart. If he can destroy Jone's heart, then he can break the curse that is threatening his life. At Kidmo, we watched the clip where Sparrow slides the key into the chest opening and exposing this guy's still beating heart. God revealed to me how we are living under a curse of our own, i.e. painful childbirth, thorns and thistles, sin and death. (Genesis 3) Jesus is the key that opens heaven. Each one of us must crack open the chest that encases our heart and give God access. He wants to save us from the curse of sin and death. That is the reason for the season! Without the birth in the barn, there would have been no death on the cross.
