The Island - a prison that feels like home

Short video about Jesus Christ made using clips from the 2005 movie The Island. This video was made to use at a young peoples cafe' to encourage people to think about what they take for granted in life and also about the claims that Jesus made and what it means for all of us if they are true.
We have no offical connection with rejesus.co.uk or zang productions but we really like their sites so we tacked them on at the end. Check them out.

To the person who posted a comment saying they felt like people try to push Jesus on them: I'm really sorry, my last comment was a reply to yours, but since I posted it yours has disappeared! I was going to PM you about it but now I can't. It was an honest mistake!

I doubt you'll see this comment, but here's hoping!

Hi, thanks for your comment. I've PM'd you about it so this is for everybody else: I do realise that the Island isn't a movie about Jesus, but in my work with young people I try to find stuff they already now as a way to explain Christianity, and that was the aim of the video.

It is interesting that so many modern stories feature heroes who realize that the world know exists to blind them from a larger truth. This is obviouly something that audiences are feel a connection with.

Thanks again.

[BroadwayYouth]

Thanks for your comment. But naive in what way?

[SergioHilton]

pretty good video!

some of the best moments of the movie.

Interesting match with the bible too!

[bwildasi]

Yes. Through Moses Covenant the law which is designed to lead us to life brings death, by awaking the natural desires in us the warped knowledge to perfect wrongdoing: The command do not murder, is expounded a thousand ways how to perfect personal revenge on others, and thus receive in ourself the penalty for such wrong behavior. (Rm 7:23)

I don't really understand... Does the bible explain its theory of how sin is a prison? I can understand how we might be slaves to sin, but what truth does sin prevent us from seeing?
