One of my favorite movies of all times is The Replacements with Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman. Even though we have it on DVD and can watch it whenever I want to, I always tune in when it’s on tv (usually TNT). Tonight, as I watched it again, I realized that my favorite line in the movie has more meaning than I thought. Near the end of the movie, Falco tells his team “Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever.” I love that line, but tonight it took on a different meaning. Tonight, I listened to it as description of the Christian life. We experience pain in this world. We will get scars (now, I’m not sure about chicks digging them, but it’s part of the quote, so it’s somehow relevant). Jesus’ glory is forever. This world is temporary for us. We are aliens here, waiting for the time when we are called home. There will be times of pain, and we will get scars. But, it’ll be worth it, for Jesus’ sake. His glory is all we should be seeking, and it’ll be known forever. How awesome is that?! Until that happens, I guess I Will Survive will be our themesong – just don’t expect me to do the dance (I have two left feet).
