Atheism is often said: I only believe if I see the Lord. In fact, every true Christian pretends to be the Lord and bears witness to the Lord through every aspect of his life. If you want to see the Lord’s appearance, you should see every Christian and their testimony, just as Jesus said to his disciples: If you want to see God’s Does it look like? When you see me, you see the Father. Not because of looks, but because the Lord lived out the likeness of God in these short 33 years of life. This is why the purpose of the incarnation of the Lord as man two thousand years ago was not to create religion by imagining a Lord who is invisible, intangible, and has nothing to do with him, but by establishing a direct, father-son relationship with God. like intimacy, so that you can live a way in your own life.
In what way? The biblical account of Jesus is already exhaustive, and this film builds on that testimony. The godfather Gabir in the film has the shadow of Jesus, obeyed all the way, "led like a lamb to the place of slaughter", showing the power beyond violence and hatred at the end of his life. Jesus said: Whoever loses his life for my sake will gain it a hundredfold. So the cardinal said: In fact they are alive and I am dead.
In the film, the monk Mendoza has the shadow of Simon Peter, strong, impulsive and violent. His struggle with the Indians to defend the church is reminiscent of the arrest of Jesus Christ when Peter slashed at soldiers with a knife. The difference is that Peter also went through the process of denial of the Lord 3 times, and Mendoza finally forgave the Portuguese soldiers who came. So Mendoza is not saved when he is forgiven by the Indians, but when he sees the martyrdom of Godfather Gabir at the end of the credits. The Lord's Church is not fighting against men, but against the devil; not with weapons, but with love and forgiveness.
Therefore, Christianity is not a religion, but a way of life and a way of life.
Not too fond of the cardinal's character in the film. He occupies an important position in the Lord's church, but too many political factors in his heart have replaced the Lord's teaching. Therefore, he will sigh: I wonder if it is appropriate to abandon the Indian church for the sake of the European church? The Lord has answered: Even the smallest disciple who forsakes me has forsaken me.
