Johanna has experienced ups and downs as much as Joseph. Joseph was sold to Egypt as a slave by his brothers. From slave to prisoner, he finally became the prime minister of Egypt. His tortuous life was to fulfill the important task given to him by God. , Go to Gentiles, go to idolatry places to witness the glory of Jehovah.
There are three women in the family tree of Jesus, with special identities. One is Tamar, who conceived with her father-in-law and gave birth to heirs of the Jewish tribe; one was Rahab, she was not only a Gentile, but also a prostitute; the other was Luther, and she was also a prostitute. Gentiles are widows who remarry. According to the laws in the Bible, these three women are absolutely impossible to enter the genealogy of Jesus, but they are all recorded.
The above content is all from the "Bible", which is a history book and will only truthfully record historical facts. Therefore, the fact that a woman who is regarded as a shameful shame in the eyes of the world is recorded in the genealogy of Jesus is very telling in itself.
What does God care about? From God's point of view, what is the most important? Can the people used by God be limited by human standards?
If you don’t see what God really cares about, or the true meaning of the Bible, you will be like Johanna’s father, even though he is a Christian, he perpetrated the atrocities of Satan.
But movies are movies after all, and no matter how popular novels are, they cannot fully reflect the truth of history. If there is such a pope in history, then it is just a miracle done by God. It is left to future generations to think about what God values.
It is not the law, nor the misinterpreted doctrine, nor the authority and dogma of man, but what God really wants is that you believe in Him correctly, and God will guide you to do what He wants according to your faith. The greater the confidence, the greater the work of God.
From the position of Johanna to the Pope, she confirmed that it was the call of God. This is the most important point. She believes in the induction between her and God, not some authority, the Holy See, or the dogma, and is like her enlightenment. What the teacher said, if you truly believe, you will accept everything, because everything in the world is under the sovereignty of God. Nothing can affect you. If you shake you, your God must protect you. Only if you don’t believe in it, you will be big to foreigners. Add rejection or even cut off.
What is faith? It is really believing in Jesus Christ and communicating with him heartily, discarding all personal motives and listening to the voice of God. And those full of personal motivations in the movie, no matter what his identity, no matter how loud his slogans are, are not true faith, nor is it faith in the gospel given to us by Jesus Christ.
The Roman Catholic Church in the Middle Ages almost completely lost the gospel and became religious. Many Christians today are religious and do not really understand the gospel.
In the final analysis, religion is a human organization, a human organization, and it must be corrupt. This is what Krishnamurti said.
Faith and religion are completely different things. Religion must be dressed in the cloak of faith, but faith can exist without religion.
In fact, I would like to believe that there is a pope. It is said that when the film was shot, the Vatican, who had been highly opposed to the "Da Vinci Code", remained silent. The reason why I am willing to believe is because I believe that God will not cover up His glory with faith disguised by religion. He is a mighty miraculous God, a created God who never copies and adheres to rules. He For his plan, all people who are despised by the world and ethics and morals can be used. At the same time, he is willing to declare in a way that the world cannot understand that what he values is not the rules of man, but the promises and plans he will fulfill. , And promote the process of history with shocking actions.
But Johanna's ending is not very good, some people have asked questions like this. Then I will speak from the point of view of the gospel.
If you truly believe in God and believe in God's sovereignty, then you will believe that everything that happens is the best, and that what is not the best will not happen. Because everything is in God's plan, if God doesn't allow it, things won't happen.
The twelve disciples of Jesus recorded in the "Bible", in addition to a traitor Judas, and John who wrote the book of Revelation died in Patmos Island prison. The other 10 apostles were all martyred and died, and Peter was crucified upside down.
If according to the thinking of the world, if God is so powerful, why should they all die, and the death is so miserable?
However, for the saved person, how to die is not important. What is important is whether the heart is safe at the time of death and whether the fear of death can be surpassed. Compared with how to die, where the soul goes after death is more important.
Countless martyrs have proved to people that when they face the cross, the guillotine, and the torture frame, they die so frankly and fearlessly. Therefore, a miserable and ugly death is not a problem for a believer.
Also, if the movie is out of reality, why did God let her die in full view, and died in miscarriage? Wasn't she humiliating her and the church when she was dying to uncover the mystery of her gender?
Then I tell you, God’s plan never looks at how people look at people, but how they affect people; and they don’t worry about how people look at the church, because people believe in God and don’t rely on the church, but on his own. Election, none of the people He predestined can escape.
What people think of Johanna and what kind of insult Johanna has been subjected to at the time are not what God cares about. Johanna revealed her identity in public, which shows that God allows people to see clearly that the pope they love is intolerable by the secular and doctrinal. The human heart has its own scale, how did history develop? It was discovered that it was unreasonable and unfair, and then it was changed a little bit by the hearts of the people.
It is not important for people to see people. History is in the hands of God's mighty hands. All things work together, both good and bad, working toward God's plan and fulfilling His promises one by one according to a timetable. This is the gospel.
In addition, from the humiliation and final outcome of Johanna, one can see God's justice. Even the children of God will still be punished by sin if they violate God's commandments.
This punishment is not given by God, because it comes from sin itself. Sin is the gap in Satan's work. If a person commits a sin, he must suffer the consequences of the sin.
Just like the adultery of David and Bathsheba in the Old Testament of the Bible, in order to marry Bathsheba, he even planned to kill Bathsheba's husband. For this reason, David not only lost his first son born to Bathsheba, but also suffered family civil strife, brother and sister, mother and son incest, and the tragic life tragedy of being chased by his son. No matter how well David believed and was loved by God, he would still sin, and he would still have to bear the consequences of his sins.
As long as it is human, as long as it has the flesh, it is inevitable to sin. If people can be completely free from sin by keeping the law, Jesus Christ will not be used to die for mankind.
Therefore, in the Old Testament, God did not expect mankind to obey the law to obtain holiness, but to convict mankind of sin through the law. In this way, God "Incarnate" in the New Testament came at the cost of life and blood as a sin offering for mankind, and freely bestowed the grace of salvation on mankind.
Therefore, whether David sinned or Johanna sinned, just like you and me, when the flesh is faced with temptation, it is unavoidable to be weak. This is normal.
But normal does not mean correct, and the offender must bear the consequences. God is merciful, and God is righteous. Although the evil consequences of sin come from Satan, in order to discipline His children, God will allow such evil consequences to occur.
However, no matter what evil consequences sin brings, believers will not perish their souls. Jesus Christ, who has overcome the authority of the underworld, has completely freed believers from the law of death.
Therefore, what Johanna has to bear is only the inevitable result of her sin.
If the movie is true, then this is the truth; if the movie is just made up, with the eyes of the gospel, you will also get the correct answer.
Because the truth makes people free, put on the gospel glasses, the world you see is so clear and transparent, without entanglements and obstacles.
