Jesus the Terminator?

With the release of the new Terminator movie, I wanted to re-watch the "older" Terminator movies before checking out "Salvation." After finishing the first installment, "The Terminator," I began "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." I came to the part when Sarah and John Connor with the T101 Terminator arrived at there "camp" where they stocked up on weapons and acquired a truck...and then God touched my heart with a realization.

During this scene Sarah is sitting on the picnic table watching her son, John, and the Terminator (Uncle Bob, haha) interact and play - as John taught "him" how to 'give me five' and various other human interactions. As she watches on she thinks to herself how crazy and incredible it is that this Terminator, the very one that was on a non-stop mission to kill her years ago, is now protecting her son.

She thinks to herself this..."Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Terminator would never stop, it would never leave him, and it would never hurt him or say it was too busy to spend time with him...it would always be there, and it would die to protect him... In an insane world it was the sanest choice."

When I was watching this, something became so clear to me. Clearer than ever before. Jesus will never leave us, He will always be there, and He died protecting us. Protecting us from the bondage of sin. Protecting us from endless death. God sent Him to protect our lives by giving His. Just as the Terminator gave his life to protect John Connor, Jesus gave His to save us...giving us new lives in Him. Jesus is on a non-stop mission of giving His love...making His glory known. In this insane world Jesus IS the sanest choice.

Of course I already knew this truth, but it is amazing how God reminds us and continues to show us His love in awesome and unexpected ways. I really never saw the "machine" from "T2" and "T3" in this light before. But after God revealed His love and mission to me again, this time in an awesome 'blockbuster' way, I am very blessed, and pleased to know, that Jesus...is my very own...Terminator!
