What are your thoughts?
Hi, I'm Noel and I'm a recovering hypocrite. I spend the majority of my time pastoring and teaching at Riverview, surfing the internet on my iProducts, and hanging out with my smoking hot wife and four wildly talented children. I plan on spending the rest of my life figuring out how to vicariously plant hundreds of churches without ever leaving my church. Oh, and even though I work for Riv, everything here is my personal opinion and nothing more.
Oh yeah, there are two more things you might need to know. The first is that I have disabled comments on this site. If you want to make a comment, head over to Facebook and you'll notice I have imported all my blog posts as "Notes." Sorry if this inconveniences you or if you don't use Facebook, it just helps me have a single place for dialog. Secondly, I don't have a very good archiving system here so if you are looking for something in particular, you are best served to use the search function above or try your luck with the categories or tags below.

Its creepy and odd. Yet it gives its life to save others. I could spend all day look at meaning in such a short video.

Very cool video, no doubt about it.
I couldn’t help but notice that the hero kills it(?)self, however. That, to me, is a significant departure from the story of Jesus.

I saw this video a while ago and loved it.
On my blog I said one of the great things about this short is that you already know what’s going to happen half way through… In our gut we know what the cost of true love is in a world where evil exists.
brgulker,
The hero is also a doll, his creator was evil, and he didn’t come back alive… that’s the significant departure. The only thing this story had close to the story of Jesus was self sacrifice. And it was close enough for us to make the connection. We keep telling Jesus’s story because there will never be another exactly like it. It’s was once and for all.
We should celebrate stories that point to Jesus.
