One of the most important (in my opinion) points in the movie is about
faith. Neo must learn to put his faith in what is true, not in what he believed
all of his life to BE true. For instance...he learned certain laws of physics
that he must begin to understand are now bendable, sometimes breakable. This is
not an easy lesson, as anyone who has tried to break their own concepts of
physical laws can attest to (two balls of different sizes, dropped from the
same, height really DO travel at the same rate!)
In my life I have learned many lessons, as well, that are not truth. For
example; it seems best, when given the choice of two jobs, to take the one that
pays better, has better benefits, or allows me to do the least amount of work
while making the most money. However, the truth is that following God's plan
for my life, what ever it may be, is better. So He may want me to take the job
that pays the least but gives me more time for ministry, or the job that will
teach me the things He wants me to learn for the future. "I know the plans I
have for you, plans for prosperity and not for pain." This doesn't mean there
WON'T be pain, it just means that, in the long run, it will glorify God and will
benefit my soul, not necessarily my pocketbook.
