God’s celestial poetry!

In the recent sci-fi film, Arrival, the story’s premise pivots on language being a gateway to time. Although such films are esoteric and Gnostic, there is something very true about God who gives us his Divine Word, Jesus Christ, and allows us to see all of creation pivot, and bow, to his coming.In a sense, eternity pauses for our yes, or no, to the Divine Word.

Rick Larson’s documentary, The Star of Bethlehem, gives us a lens to see just that — God’s celestial poetry, a language of love that binds together the movement and very existence of all being. A reminder in many ways that Christ came to redeem not just us, but all of creation.

The Divine Word is the real “Arrival” that gives us a gateway to time? Eternal time.
