How The Bible And The Lord Of The Rings Are The Same (Part Three)
As
Frodo, Sam, and Gollum are getting closer to the Great Eye (A.K.A Satan) the
ring gets heavier. Hebrews 12:1 Says, “Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run
with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.” See, sin puts you down and destroys you. You can try so hard to get rid of it but only
with Christ’s help can you. In my
opinion there really is no Christ in the L.O.T.R series, but others might think
differently. When it says “The sin that
so easily entangles,” it reminds me of
when Frodo in the third movie, The Return Of The King, ditches Sam for Gollum
(who is out to kill Frodo and take the ring) and Gollum later takes him down
the wrong path. Frodo tried to “Keep his
eye on Jesus” but the ring and Gollum deceived him and lead him through the
Spider’s Tunnel. When Frodo went through
the tunnel he got tangled in a web; almost like a web of lies, hatred, and
sin. He used his sword to cut through
those webs just like us Christians use our sword or our Bible to defeat sin. –Smaug
