300

this is gonna be the start of a series of blogs about 300, i'll try not to do the same ones other people did, people who read my blog probly read enoch's as well, so i'll do different lines, or do same lines with different takes.
In the beginning I find it interesting how Sparta trains their young. First of all, in order to survive you must pass the first test, born without defomaties. If you aren't, your cast into the pit to die, seems pretty harsh, but isnt that God's take on humans? That we must be pure and blameless infront of him, Romans 2. So how then can we be blameless when we face the great white throne. Sacrifice of Jesus, too easy.
Second clip, the kid is trained by his father, constantly in a situation of fighting to strengthen himself. I think i'll do that with my kid, spiritually speaking, that i will constantly train him/her in warfare, that he is always in a ready state of battle. Teaching him constantly how to respond against satan's lies, "what do you say when he says you're useless?", "I am a child of God and useful only to him.", something to that effect. After all, I learned from my Father.
Now he goes through his test, faced alone with the big wolf, he has no place to retreat, so he leads him to a narrow gateway, faced in great danger, in a battle for life and death, only then can a boy become man, when he is tested to that extreme, when he has faced death and conquered it, he is claimed victorious, who else conquered death? Our Lord Jesus Christ, when he is faced with the big bad wolf, he showed no fear, so we too shows no fear to our enemies in their intimidation, no matter how scary they look, Spartans live to die a "beautful death", we have a better death, a death that leads to eternity with God, we're dead to the body but alive in the soul, show satan today that he can find no fear in you, and the only thing he will see is your sword of the Spirit and shield of faith, HAROO!!
