So, I missed yesterday's lent devotional post because we had group. Maybe we should just plan on taking a short time for the next few weeks to read the short Thursday devotion at small group?! Anyhow, I loved watching Les Miserables with you all again last night. It's such a powerful story on so many levels: forgiveness, righteousness, resisting temptation, the power of grace, selfless love. The man that Jean Valjean became is nothing short of a treatise on the Beatitudes that we have been reading.
We ran out of time last night because we started a little late, and the movie was long, so we didn't get to discuss our reactions at all. What did everyone think? Were there any parts that struck you this time around? How did you understand the theme of grace vs. vengeful justice? What did you think of the end of the movie?
Let's hear your thoughts! I'll try to get back to the daily lenten discussion posts tomorrow.
