brave and loyal

I watched a pantomime a few days ago. It was a silent movie. It was black and white. The characters spoke without sound. There were only some subtitles to remind the characters of the dialogue, and piano music was used as the background music. The name of the mime is The Passion of Joan of Arc. I read "Joan of Arc" when I was 12 years old, and I vaguely remember that she was a nun in France. Jesus gave her a special vision and mission to save France through her. At that time, during the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, the British came to France through the English Channel. For the French people, their country was facing aggression and seemed to be destroyed. Jesus raised Joan of Arc. She was only a teenager and illiterate, but she loved the Lord very much and was very obedient. She rose up and led the French people to fight against aggression and became a national hero of France. Because of the betrayal of the traitors, she was brought to England and accepted the British Catholic Church. will be judged. "The Passion of Joan of Arc" tells about the entire process of Joan of Arc being tried and having been burned at the stake. On my thirteenth birthday, my mother took me to a pastor's house for fellowship. The pastor chatted with me, and she asked me about my faith. Although I went to church with my mother every Sunday, I didn't like it. I don’t know much about faith, I know very little, and I may not be considered a believer, because I still remember Joan’s confession of faith, so I told the pastor. I haven't read that Joan of Arc in all these years, but I probably remember it was about mercy, love, and salvation. For the thirteen-year-old me, Joan of Arc is a girl I admire very much. She was about the same age as me at that time, and she became a national hero and a great leader. In my heart, she has always been very honorable. At that time, through the story of Joan of Arc, I thought: Jesus may really be able to change a person's destiny, and turn a humble person into a great person. Thirteen years later, when I watched "The Passion of Joan of Arc", Joan of Arc was even greater in my heart, because I knew that Jesus not only transformed her from a little country girl into a national hero, but also from a child who was afraid of death. Girls become brave martyrs. In the movie, Joan of Arc has been crying, and the tears are almost non-stop. Judges of the British Inquisition ruled that Joan of Arc was from the devil and asked her to sign a declaration that she was from the devil and not from Jesus, and as long as she signed it, she would not have to die. The judges bullied and tempted, and a nineteen-year-old girl nearly broke, she signed the proclamation on the brink of death, but when she saw her crown of straw that resembled Jesus' crown of thorns, she Thinking of her Lord, she repented before the judge again, saying that she had lied and betrayed her Lord for fear of being burned at the stake. She finally bravely walked to the stake, the fire ignited, and she His face was as firm as Jesus and as kind as the Virgin. I watched the second half of the film and couldn't help crying. I am also afraid of the burning, and I am also afraid of suffering. Burning at the stake is to burn a person to death little by little with heat, and the process is also very painful. A little girl is really understandable for being afraid of being burned at the stake, but because of her loyalty to Jesus, she walked to the stake and to eternal life. After watching this movie, I kept asking myself: if I faced all kinds of horrific torture instruments and faced the stake, would I give in?
