In the movie The Bourne Identity, Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne, a man suffering from amnesia. After being discovered at sea by a fishing vessel, initially thought to be dead, Jason Bourne awakes without a trace of his identity. Following a micro chip found in his body, Jason chases a series of clues from his past to unlock his true identity.
Currently, America is suffering from a similar identity crisis. While clues about our past still remain, revisionist historians are trying to cover up the fact which was once known by all, America was founded on Christian principles. If you examine an original copy of the Magna Carta you will find quotes from Matthew 28:18-20. The purpose for founding America was based upon the Bible, to propagate the great commission, spreading the good news about Jesus Christ all across this new land. If our leaders don’t wake up from their spiritual amnesia, America will soon become the United Socialist States of America.
In the sequel, The Bourne Supremacy Matt Damon is haunted by nightmares from his past as an assassin for the Federal Government. When a person has an awakening like Jason Bourne or a spiritual awakening like a Christian, the forces of your past will always fight against current convictions. Until you come to grips with who you really are, its hard to make drastic changes in life. Meanwhile, unseen spiritual forces will try to steal your joy for living, kill your dreams and destroy any hopes of true change according to John 10:1o. Jesus’ solution to this identity crisis is found in Matthew 16:25-28. The rest is up to you, Romans 6:23.
