Is it me, or has Disney changed over the years? Somehow, I have the idea that what they do now is different than it was thirty or forty years ago. Then again, it could be me, for I have changed. In times gone by I had young children and I can remember countless times seeing things anew threw their young eyes. The comparisons in the pictures could be viewed as prophesies I suppose, but they are more likely just coincidences. We may never know. What we can know is that God wants everyone to be right with HIM and to know HIM. This chapter expresses that thought and is worth reading (again and again).
World English Bible: Ephesians Chapter 3
[1] For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles, [2] if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you; [3] how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words, [4] by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; [5] which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; [6] that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News, [7] of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. [8] To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, [9] and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; [10] to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, [11] according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; [12] in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him. [13] Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
[14] For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, [15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, [16] that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; [17] that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, [18] may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, [19] and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. [20] Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, [21] to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
From my early childhood, I can't remember a time when there wasn't hatred in the world and a war somewhere. This thought sickens me. Think of all the evil that has occurred over the past one hundred years!!! Just think for a moment about how many wounded vets you have seen or HAVE KNOWN PERSONALLY. Yet, with all this, God has always been there, ready to fill our hearts with love. Most all of us have known love in one form or another; whether it be from the family we grew up in, a sweetheart or children. Imagine a love greater than any you have known and marvel at a love that would be 100,000 times greater. The Christian life is wonderful because you have the privledge of knowing God and being changed by his love. Even Disney could not truly represent the truth of the essence of the love of God. But its right there for all to see and if you have never experienced it a good place to start is with an open Bible. Life will never be the same again, I promise. And that is NOT FANTASY!!!
