"Man on Fire" Le Lounge Recap

http://www.cinezik.org/critiques/jaquettes/man_of_fire.jpg"I believe in a god but not in miracles" she said.

"So" I responded, "a god could be out there somewhere helping to direct this huge thing called the universe, but it isn't possible that it could ever intervene and do a little miracle?"

"You're right" she thought, "it isn't very logical is it?" 

There were about eight students, sitting around a table in the massive entry-way of the Cégep. I walked up, sat down right in the middle and asked "Do you guys like to watch movies?"

"Yes"

"Do you like movies with Denzel Washington?"

"Yes"

"In a few minutes we're going to watch the movie "Man on Fire" and discuss the themes found in it, and how they relate to Jesus Christ. Who do you say Jesus Christ is?"

And so the discussion began...

Three new students came to watch the movie. Two guys stayed for a while and we plowed through the gospel. We talked about offensive themes like "we are all totally depraved" and "Jesus really died and really rose again" and if you put your faith in Him as your Savior you will be born again... and perhaps live a very difficult life as His disciple... that is worth it for eternity. But if you continue on in your relaxed life in rejection, you will be eternally separated from God in torment."

One turned out to be a Christian... but none of his friends knew it. He was so excited that his friend heard the gospel.  But now his secret is out. He is a disciple of Christ and all his friends now know it.

The other... we exchanged e-mails. He wants to come back. He wants to know... did Jesus really, really, really, rise from the dead? If so, then that changes everything.

Eight people watched the film, only four (that I can tell) know Christ already. Thank you for praying.
