This weeks episode we are going to be talking about “The One”
Obviously if you have not seen The Matrix this series will ruin it for you. Also the M came out about 20yrs ago, so if its been awhile since you’ve seen it, try and check it out. It will help the things we are going to talk about here. Making things a little more clear, and likely you’ll get more out of the series.
Men- In this series I have a challenge going on for you. I’d like you to start really truly considering who you are as a man. Start by taking some small steps today, and then everyday this week to start really taking an honest look at what kind of a man you are.
What kind of a man you think you are, what kind of man others think you are, and what kind of man God thinks you are.
For those of you that have been doing that, I pray that God has been revealing some good things to you, and bringing some clarity, and new perspective that you did not have before. Keep it up. There is more that God has to show you.
With that lets get into it…
Topic- The One.
The first part of the series we talked about the Red Pill and the Blue Pill, and our power of choice as Christians. How Neo makes a choice and how we do the same. We accept, and aknowledge that Christ is Lord – or we don’t.
E2 we talked about “how there is no spoon.” Which is really about faith. What is faith, and what it isn’t. How biblical faith is not a blind faith.
E3 We looked at a specific character in the M – Cypher. How he is a good representation of our flesh, and how to be aggressive in our fight against our flesh.
This week we are going to talk about “The One”. There is SO MUCH to unpack here this is going to be a 2 part episode.
In case it has been awhile since you have seen The Matrix, and you may not recall exactly what I am talking about – lets go through the story of The One.
The One, is the bulk of the M is about. We are teased right up until the end of the movie – is Neo the one or not?
There are some that believe, some that are on the fence, and some that don’t believe he is the one at all. The story of Neo is really about him disovering who he really is – as a man.
You see in the begining we see him as Thomas Anderson. As the film progresses he discovers that he is The One. Something that at the begining of the story he did not even know existed. He did not even know what the M is, much less anything about a prophecy, or The One. That is CRITICAL to what we are going to be talking about here.
Let’s take a quick look at the people in Neo’s life. Because it’s going to be helpful in how we are going to learn from,
