The Movie Lot Facade

IF YOU were to go to Universal Studios, either in Florida or in California, they will take you on a tour in a tram through their movie lots. In these movie lots you’ll see western towns and modern-day types of towns where films are made. The tour guides will explain to you as you drive through that what you are looking at is a facade. The external may look like it’s a town or a city, but if you were to go on the other side, there’s nothing there. There’s no reality behind what you see. It looks good, but there’s nothing else there. The lots are simply there to create an impression of a town or a city for the purposes of the film.

Unfortunately today, much of what goes on in the lives of Christians is not a reflection of true blessing but more like a facade. Beyond the external, their lives have nothing solid on the other side.
