The news about Maddy McCann disappearance reminds me of the movie, The Deep end of the Ocean.
Unknown to many what make most of good movies are the Christian themes feature in them. Just like in this movie, three Christian themes stood out.
Hoping Against Hope
In the movie, a couple lost their son while attending a class re-union party. For about 10 years the mother never lost hope that one day she would see her son again. In order for her to recognize her son, she commissioned a ‘face’ computer expert to forecast how her son looks like at present by basing it from the child recent picture before he got lost.
The Abba Experience
When the family finally found the lost son, at first the latter could not remember them anymore. But eventually he remembered a particular game he usually played with an elder brother in which he would hide inside a cabinet. While inside the cabinet he would not be able to come out of his own, and he remembered that he was never scared then because he knew that his older brother will always find him.
The Cross and Resurrection
Having found the lost son was not actually a happy situation for everyone. Sam who was then known as Ben when found was not happy in the company of his newly found family. Eventually the mother let him go back to his ‘father’. Just imagine how painful it is on the part of a mother who waited for about 10 years and then her son would not actually treat her as his mother. But because hr son happiness takes precedence than hers she let him go. But in the end, his son was able to remember everything and they were finally re-united for good.
