Harry Potter & Jesus



I just finished reading the 7th Harry Potter book, and was reminded of a scene from the 3rd book/movie. This is my favorite clip. Let me set it up for you.

Harry and Hermione have traveled back in time to help their friend Sirius. (kinda like Back to the Future, sorry I get distracted easily) They are on the banks of the river, watching Harry and Sirius being attacked by these evil things called dementors. The future Harry believes his dad will save them. He stands there waiting. But when his dad doesn't come, Harry realizes that he is the one who is supposed to save them.

Sometimes, I think like Harry. I believe that someone else will do it. Someone else will show compassion. Someone else will pick up. Someone else will feed the hungry. Someone else will tell that person about Christ. When all along God has equipped me to do the work. I have the tools, but it just takes stepping out in faith.
