“When life offers you a dream so far beyond
any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an
end.”17
The first book in the Twilight series begs the question, “What happens when the natural
person encounters the supernatural world?” A teenage girl and a good-looking
vampire meet, and these two will never be the same. The Twilight series offers a dream of love
and hope that exceeds many of our worldly expectations.
From a
spiritual perspective, we also see the spiritual themes of identity, power,
love and truth in Twilight. The focus
of this section of spiritual commentary is Ephesians 1. In Ephesians 1:3-14, we
see how God created the world for the purpose of His glory. He created a
natural world with supernatural power. It is the same duality that Bella faces
in the Twilight series. In this
process, he also created us and a pathway of redemption. In Ephesians 1:15-23,
we learn how God uses this same supernatural power in the resurrection of His
Son, Jesus Christ. That same power is available to us.
