One of my favorite movies has got to be "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"... No - it is not an Arthurian Tale of Knighthood to recapture the Holy Land - But it does still manage to capture the imagination in true 'Ford fashion'...
The movie's main plot is the quest to find the 'Holy Grail' - the cup used by Christ during the Last Supper... They go on to say in the movie that the cup also caught His blood and was given to Joseph of Arimathia (Not really very accurate, huh..?) All of this leads to a suspenseful chase to find the 'grail'... We have Indiana, his dad (Good ol' 007), Marcus Brody, and our fun 'eastern' friend whose name currently escapes me (hmm...) - Going against wealthy Walter Donovan and the Nazi's... Of course there's a weak love story (okay - 'lust story') in the middle, too - but nobody wants to hear about that...
In the end, though - Indy must overcome impossible odds and stretch his faith to find the 'Holy Grail' and save the day... Isn't it amazing - that even in a hollywood blockbuster - that they know how important faith is... The Bible talks about faith in great deal and the importance of it...
"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards." (Hebrews 11:6)
Now - I ask you - If Indiana Jones can step out on faith - what's stopping you..? What's stopping me..?
