I was amazed at the creativity of U23D last night. The creativity of the artists who produced, filmed and edited the 3D film. The creativity of U2 themselves… who through their music call us to respect human rights, seek peace and co-exist on this planet peacefully… these are all biblical themes… think about it: God’s creativity brought us about and our creativity is a reflection of His image in us… the calls for human rights and peace among people are like the prophets of old who I’m sure inform the heart behind the songs of U2… We are called to make change… Jesus doesn’t give us the option of inaction… He said GO, Jesus didn’t make suggestions, He reminded us of biblical COMMANDS to love our neighbor as ourself… but we must remember that before any of this can happen, we must love God. My last observation is the way these prophets interacted with the crowd and the drama with which Bono particularly showed the power of the message of the songs… it is an amazing, amazing show, if you can go, you must. CLick here to get a taste of the action or (like Sweet Anna, Joanna, Becca, Dylan and whoever else…) be reminded of the show using National Geographic’s site. It’s playing all over “In God’s Country,” in DC at the Natural History Musuem IMAX, go if you can, its in Budapest somewhere, or on a “Street with No Name” but I know not how long.  It is great “With or Without You.”
