Isaiah foretells redemption for the people of Israel
Some of our most beloved movies are tales of redemption: stories of
salvation through sacrifice which move us to tears. They tell us to hold on to
hope, to fight to survive, to believe in goodness, and remind us that anyone
can change. They show us that life is a series of choices, and that, for every
act of injustice, there is justice just around the corner. Some of my
favourites are The Shawshank Redemption, It’s a Wonderful Life, les Misérables and
the movie we showed during last year’s Men’s Retreat, Gran Torino. As we are
redeemed through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we dedicate ourselves and our
lives as a sacrifice to those around us and to the kingdom of God.
Comme nous sommes rachetés par le sacrifice
de Jésus-Christ, nous nous consacrons nos vies comme un sacrifice à ceux qui
nous entourent et le royaume de Dieu.
