Time is the most ordinary thing in our world, but it is also the biggest mystery. Modern people have been able to do many "big things", they can land on the moon, and they can walk in space; they can move a whole mountain, and they can build buildings as tall as a mountain; they have also invented such wonderful things as the Internet and computers... , Compared with the previous generations, we are like the X-Men in the movie, and we seem to have superpowers, but we are clueless about time. The time of the past will never come back, and no matter which person the ending is the same, they are all heading for death. Time really makes us sad but helpless. Where did the time go? ... Maybe that's why time-travel movies are so popular.
This movie uses the element of "time" well, which makes the film interesting and sets it apart from other superhero movies that have become all about fighting and killing. Through the use of time-travel, we can go back to the past and learn how the relationship between Professor X and Magneto, the two inseparable and inseparable old enemies, was formed. This kind of relationship between enemies and friends, It is the main driving force for the film's story to move forward.
As the leaders of mutants, Professor X and Magneto both have powerful superpowers, and both are committed to protecting mutants and guiding mutants. The opposite path: Professor X is compassionate, he does not advocate ability, but prefers understanding, communication and dialogue; Magneto is cruel, he advocates eye for eye for tooth, violence against violence, and hatred against it The hatred -- and they both think they're right and the other is wrong -- and their relationship is so confrontational in this movie that the sparks are naturally earth-shattering.
This relationship between Professor X and Magneto makes us think of God in the Bible, and sometimes, the God we read in the Bible is like Magneto, a powerful and unusually severe god who not only gave in the law" "An eye for an eye" commanded the Israelites to slaughter the entire city of Canaanites. When the Israelites themselves sinned against God, they would be punished extremely severely. Uzzah stretched out his hand to support the ark of the covenant. Being slain by God (2 Samuel 6)..., many times, these contents become a stumbling block for some people to know God, and they do not want to approach such a severe God.
Sometimes, God is like Professor X, full of mercy to people. Abraham said that his wife was his sister. Such a lie not only did not bring him any losses, but also increased his wealth; the great city of Nineveh is about to be destroyed because of the crime. When they were destroyed, God sent Jonah to warn them, and let the whole great city be saved ("Jonah"); God also healed leprosy, sent oil to poor widows, let the paralyzed walk, and gave troubled prophets Sending food... what a merciful God!
Yet it is the same God, a God who is both severe and merciful. In the movie, Professor X and Magneto fight each other because of their different personalities, but they coexist harmoniously with God. Because of God's severity, he will judge the world, and he will set up hell to punish sinners; because of God's mercy, he will save some people, and he will build heaven for these people to share in his glory.
At the end of his life, Magneto realized that he and Professor X turned out to be good brothers. He pulled Professor X regretfully and said: We waste too much time to kill each other! At this moment, Magneto and Professor X finally reconciled. do you know? There is also a time in the Bible when God showed mercy and sternness at the same time, and that was on the cross, when he took his anger out on his own son, so that those of us who believed in his son would no longer be punished by this anger , what a mercy this is!
Henceforth, since peace was made through the blood shed on the cross by him (Jesus Christ), through him all things, both on earth and in heaven, were reconciled to himself. (Colossians 1:20)
Yes, we are reconciled to such a stern God through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, because he has mercy on us. Do you know why time exists? Because God will give us time to know his Son Jesus, because God does not want us to enter into his severity and wrath--time is God's mercy, and his mercy is always greater than his severity--so, Friends, don't waste your time, don't waste your life like Magneto to reconcile with Professor X, come and meet the God who has mercy on you, don't wait for him to get angry, make up with him early, he will bring you Out of the shortness of this time, take you into the infinite beauty of eternity!
Remember your Maker while you are still young, before the days of decay come, those days when you say "I have no joy"! (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
