Lost & Redemption

During this past weekend’s message, I referenced one of my favorite TV shows, LOST. I hesitate to share illustrations like this because I am mindful of the fact that not everyone watches the show, and some have no idea what the show is about.

But this one was too perfect a connection. If you want to hear more about that illustration, you can listen to the sermon here.

For those of you who are fans of Lost, I had previously posted about a great book I read recently from a Pastor in Houston named Chris Seay. The book is titled, The Gospel According to Lost. You can read more about that here.

As a supplement to that resource, Chris is recording some video diaries after each episode of this final season. Normally, this isn’t something that I would post here because it makes me feel too much like a dork, but Chris has some great insight as to some of the “spiritual” themes that are at work in this TV show.

The only thing I will add to what this clip is my agreement with Chris that last night’s episode was my favorite of the entire series… The scene at the last when Ben says that he is going to Locke because, “he is the only one who will take me,” was powerful. Who among us haven’t felt like that before? Kicked to the curb trash with no place to call home?

And yet the words of the Savior still echo… “I will have you.”

Beautiful scene.

Now, here’s Chris.
