The Matrix - A Christian Perspective
The film called The Matrix, is a story of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) has
created a computer construct called "The Matrix" of OUR world today.
Everything that we See, Feel, Taste, Smell and Hear is ALL controlled through this MATRIX computer Programme.
Our ONLY purpose is to generate electricity to keep these computers (AI) working.
- We are kept in incubators,
- We are the main source energy for these computers (i.e electricity power supply),
- The Computers feed us with the liquid remains of other humans (physical food), and
- these computers tell us what is "real" (mental food).
This computer link, is linked directly to our Brain.
In other words, our "reality" exists ONLY in our minds.
Everything we "experience"; everything we "do" - it's all just a dream!
Or Simply
However, a small band of FREED humans live in the real world and fight against
this slavery of mankind by the machines.
Their ultimate goal is to destroy The Matrix and end the domination of the machines.
How do they go about doing this is what the film is all about?

The questions are:
- Will man or machine(AI) win?
- Is their more to man than just his physical and mental needs?
- Is their a spiritual element to man? and if the answer is, yes,
- Can man tap into this INNER POWER that he possesses?
Look deeper,.....there is so much more going on in this film ....
What has the concept of the film "THE MATRIX" got to do with....
Born again Christians?
Below is a summary of the events of Neo's 'conversion' into the real world-GOD's world.
- He accepted Christ as his Lord and saviour!
(Thomas is saved by in taking/receiving the red pill in faith (red pill = blood of Christ).
- He dies to sin and becomes an new creature in Christ Jesus. He finds that he is a new and different person (becomes a 'Neo'/new creature in Christ)
- He is baptised by water. He falls into the water and nearly drowns but his Saviour Morphesus comes and saves him.
- However, the film does not end there. This is just the beginning.
- Being baptised in Christ, by water, is just the beginning for ALL Christians.
- We have to let go of all our fears and doubts and die to the flesh and be baptised in the Holy Ghost and by fire and receive the power of the Holy Ghost.
- Several things happen to Neo which NEEDS to happen to All Christians!
Let's have a look at what happens to Neo in more detail......
Have a look at the matrix film trailer to have a "feel" of the film.
