caught this movie on Ch 5 yesterday night..called Behind Enemy Lines. I was never one who love war films, but this show was really good. Why? cos besides the action, state of the art effects, and politics, there was heart in it. After watching this show, i cant help thinking how similiar the situation is to us and Daddy God before Christ came.

Here's how to story goes..

Lieutenant Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) is a top naval aviator who is frustrated that fragile geo-politics have kept him from what he knows best: flying F/A-18 Superhornet jets into combat. ‘We’re watching, not fighting,’ he tells Admiral Reigart (Gene Hackman), who thinks Burnett hasn’t really learned what it means to be a soldier.
In this, we are Burnett, and God is Reigart. When we know a skill, we think we're super good at it, and forgot that Daddy God is the one who gave us that talent/taught us the skills.

During a routine reconnaissance mission, Burnett photographs something no one was meant to see and both him and his pilot were shot down.
I can't help thinking that it's us having eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We came to know something that we were not meant to know. and bcos of knowing, we were being attacked by the devil.

Burnett witnessed the execution of his pilot, and flee when he was discovered. Trapped behind enemy lines, Burnett struggles to survive the relentless pursuit of a ruthless secret police enforcer, a deadly tracker, and countless hostile troops.
After having knowledge, we're trapped or within this stupid boundary where lots of evil spirits are looking for us and trying to bring us down.

With time running out, Reigart makes the wrenching decision to set aside the rules of the tightly-controlled world in which he operates and risks his career to launch a renegade rescue mission to save the life of one soldier.
This is a picture of God. Reigart sacrificed his high ranking position. God sacrificed His Son. Except our Daddy God is obviously more amazing. Reigart was demoted(i think so la..), but God, by sacrificing Jesus, not only did He not lose the heavenly command, He took back the key of this world.

Anyway, in the show, there was this scene where Burnett was trying to escape when he fell into a large muddy pit(or swamp or whatever la..basically it's where lots of bodies were dumped. they had been killed by the ruthless police enforcer & his troops) when the military troop was closing in on him. At the same time, back in the navy ship, Reigart and some of the crew was able to see Burnett as a figure on the radar screen, and also the military troops behind. And when Burnett fell, there was no movement. So they were like "why is he not getting up? is he shot? they're closing in on him."
--- what pastor said today reminded me of this scene. "when he was still a great way off, his father saw him..." Burnett was alone and afraid, he din know Reigart can see him. That's like us. We think we're all alone to handle stuff, we fear and worry, but God sees. Daddy God sees what i'm going through. And the best thing is our Daddy God is God. Reigart can do nothing but watch. Daddy God reaches out and rescue us.---
anyway..to conclude this scene, the military troops din not see Burnett as he covered himself with the dead bodies. All they stabbed and shot at were the dead bodies. So Burnett survived that obstacle.

also, at the scene where the rescue team gathered before setting off to rescue Burnett, Reigart said this, "Let go get our boy back!" In the film, when Burnett 1st contacted the ship, Reigart called him as no. 6 cos that's Burnett's plane no. But when Reigart learned that Burnett was alone, when he slowly realised the danger that Burnett was in, he no longer address Burnett as no. 6, but instead calling him as "my boy". For us, it's even more warming, cos God always sees us as His sons & daughters. so at that scene when he said to "get our boy back", i can imagine God telling Jesus and Holy Spirit,
"Let's go get my beloved boy/girl back."
