"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." (Acts 17: 28)

Paul used the notions of the Ancient Greek poets to help explain the expansive love and presence of God the Father for His creation.

Some preachers advise their parishioners not to waste their time watching movies and pondering the implications of what they see.

Yet the Good News of Jesus Christ is appealing, and the superheroes of comic books, the lyrics of long songs, and the fairy tales with happy endings all give a shadow of the glory of Jesus Christ.

Everyone is looking for a Savior who will rescue them from their sins and set right all that has gone wrong in this world.

We are called to see Jesus in every part of Scripture:

"Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he [Jesus] expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." (Luke 24: 26-27)

We are to see God in all creation:

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." (Hebrews 11: 3)

In fact, all of creation depends upon the Godhead of Christ Jesus:

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

"And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." (Colossians 1: 16-18)

No matter what your circumstances, no matter what you are reading or writing, if the words, the characters, and plots, the resolutions of stories, poems, and movies remind you of Christ and Him Crucified, rejoice and thank God for His Holy Spirit within you, who will remind you of Jesus Christ:

"He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you." (John 16: 14)

The Holy Spirit will also remind you of everything that Jesus has taught you:

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14: 26)
