I watched this movie last week. There are movies out there that I refuse to rate because they deal with real life issues. There is a reason for making these movies... to tell a story ... to tell truth. This is one of those movies.
I have two thoughts:
1) the strength of a woman
It does not matter what tribe you are from, look to the woman there is in the very fiber of her being is a strength that is unmeasurable. It is a mystery but a truth. God designed woman as a beautiful creature and it is without fail how this world loves to crush that beauty. To all the evil and death in this world, be it known that this strength you find in a woman is stronger than any man made metal when woman is tapped into the Almighty Rock of Ages.
This movie was a precious picture and a reminder to me a stubborn girlchild to keep the faith in God burning strong. No matter what bleak days are ahead, beauty can lay her life out for others...
2) some God-Mysteries do come full circle and are revealed here on earth
The movie goes on to tell the story full circle. You are not left with the four young fathers murdered on the shore of this death hungry tribe as I was told as a child. The Mystery is revealed to the young son left fatherless as a young man. This son meets face to face with his father's converted killer. He had to come to terms with the fact that at the End of the Spear his father died so at the End of the Spear a death hungry man found New Life!
What an embrace it will be that Day when this tribesman is welcomed to Heaven by Jim Elliot. Tears will flow as the Son of God embraces them both and they see how the Author and Finisher intertwined their life events ...
