“Remember Who You Are”
One of my favorite Disney movies
is the Lion King. Although there is
a lot of symbolism in the original
movie, my favorite scene happens
to be the scene where Simba speaks
to the ancestors. Simba has been displaced from his
family and sitting alone contemplating what he
should do next. Relational conflicts all around him
had led him to run away from all he loved.
While burden to help he contemplates what he
should do next and receives a vision of his deceased
father Mufasa. Mufasa conveys a very simple but
life changing message. He says, “Simba, Remember
who you are”.
Like Simba there are relational conflicts all around
us and often times we don’t know how to respond.
Daily people are dying at the hands of hatred and
violence. When attempting to identify where to stand
in regards to conflict, we too must “Remember who
we are”.
We are Disciples of Christ. As Christ disciples we
follow the all loving, unifying, and reconciling
example in the personhood of Jesus Christ. God is
Love, hate of all kind is opposite of Love and
therefore contrary to God.
1 John 4:7-11 states, Beloved, let us love one
another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has
been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does
not love does not know God, because God is love. In
this the love of God was made manifest among us,
that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we
might live through him. In this is love, not that we
have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son
to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so
loved us, we also ought to love one another.
