Watched "Kindom of Heaven" last night. Was pleasantly surprised. Originally, I didn't watch it as it seemed a very Hollywoodish violent movie. I don't mind violence, but gratuitous violence is now lost on me.
Anyway, watched the movie last night and really liked some of the themes that were in it. IE. The Kingdom of Heaven is not a city (Jerusalem), or not encapsuled in stone or buildings...but the Kingdom of Heaven is people and is found in the mind and the heart. Because of that the Kingdom of Heaven can happen anywhere. The other interesting theme coming accross was that part of the theme of the Kingdom of Heaven is to protect the helpless, safeguard the peace and work toward harmony between cultures so that a Kingdom of Heaven can flourish on earth. Read that anywhere lately.
Yes, I know, it is hollywood, and yes, there's more to the Kingdom of Heaven, but for Hollywood, these two themes come real close to Jesus' heart and what the Kingdom of Heaven really is about.
