I recently had the chance to see the movie Tron on the G4 Network. It's part of their "Movies that Don't Suck" series. Although Tron was released in 1982, it still holds up well, extremely well. I'm going to write this as if you have seen it already. It's the first movie I remember in where a person enters into a computer generated world inside a computer. Long before the characters in Matrix, Flynn played by Jeff Bridges was digitized into a computer and saved the digital world populated by "programs". Each program was represented by an actor wearing clothes that light up. I still think they look cool. Further, each programs looks like the human character that wrote it. A couple of days after seeing the film again, I realized that it is a great metaphor for Jesus. Like Flynn entered into his own creation and "sacrificed" himself to distract the mainframe so Tron could destroy it, Jesus entered our dimension...his creation, becoming like us so he could die in our place to pay the debts we have incurred for the sins we have committed, that we do commit, and that we will commit. This is the gospel in a nutshell.
