those words are beautiful. they bring hope and life, and a chance for ever human being to be in the kingdom of heaven. there are very few words that hold a grain of salt to those. very few writers were ever able to grasp the idea that those words portray. rarely to i stop in the middle of movie and think that those words much have changed someone.
but i have twice. the first was over four years ago, and the other was tonight.
the first was for the third movie of lord of the rings.
"gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
pippin: What? Gandalf? See what?
gandalf: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."
the second was in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
aslan says this to lucy and edmund after they find out when will not be returning... they asked if he was in their world.
“But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
both jrr tolkien, and cs lewis were men who understood who God was and what he wants for all mankind. so tonight, i thank them. for they are brilliant. and i pray their words of wisdom will bring people to understand the beautiful words at the top of this post.

enjoy.
