The movie Beowulf
had a personal, spiritual effect on me. It made me think about sin and how
every sin can be passed down to the generations and can affect others. In
Exodus 34: 7 it says "Keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no
means clear the guilty; visiting (punishing) the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the
fourth generation." In Lamentations 5:7 it says "Our fathers have
sinned, and are not; and we have borne (been punished for) their
iniquities."
When the father/ King Hrothgar slept
with Grendels mother, the demon, he bore a son with her named Grendel. This sin
was kept a secret for a time. The king next was Beowulf and he ended up falling
for the same woman, same cure, and same sin. Creating another demon child with
the demon, being lured by money and power which we find is temporary. But the
bible says in Numbers 32:23 but if you fail to keep your word, then
you will have sinned against the LORD, and you may be sure that your sin will
find you out. And in Ephesians 5:1– 13 it says 11and
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12For
it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13But
all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever
doth make manifest is light.
This
was a powerful movie and I would like to share it with others. May the curse in
my life be broken and may we all seek God’s Guidance in everything we do. Let
us not be tempted or lured by the world.
