The Guest

Reframe. Who is a guest? This intriguing film clip provides yet one more way to understand the core of Christian theology – in order for any of us to be saved, healed or made truly whole, ALL of us must be healed.

As St. Paul wrote long ago, “All of creation is groaning, laboring toward salvation, toward becoming a new creation” (Romans 8:19). In other words, we are saved together.

Similarly, in this short film which you can click and watch: The Guest, Henrik Malmgren writes, “In a society where we take care of each other with bullets, the old widow Elsa is trapped in old habits. When her lonely dinner gets brutally interrupted, Elsa makes a decision that changes more than her own life, understanding that Paradise is lost without others.” (Emphasis mine)
