Aye. I was watching this last night and something really inspired me alot is how much they fought for their own freedom and how much they are commited to one common goal.
Something that drew the line very clearly between the spartans and the persians is really just one thing. The spartans are fighting for their own cause, they are fighting for something that they belong to, they are fighting for something that really mattered to them. Every single 300 of them. They are not just any face other face that they see in the squad, they are people that mattered to them.
The persians on the other hand are just slaves. Slaves that are ordered to kill. Slaves that are just ordered to fight. They have no common goal, they do not feel belonged to the persians, they are just there to fight cause their master said so.
Its really like what PJ said during sermon on saturday. The persians are just hired man. They really at the very esscnese are just hired man, "hired" to kill. The spartans on the other hand, are really very much like shepherds.
It really brought me back to how once again, the life of a christian differes so much with someone living in the world. We are ultimately living for a cause, living to do that something that we hold so dearly to our hearts, doing and serving not only caused we are called to do so, but really cause we want to. Its so much different from a commercial world where everything is done just simply for their OWN PERSONAL survival in the world, in the competitative market where everything is just about protecting one's interest...
so what are we today? what really are we today? are we a persian? or are we a spartian?
+ AMEN
