Closing Out a Series: It’s Not My Time
It is the fourth and final week in our series based on songs by the southern rock group 3 Doors Down. This week we’ll take a look at the video It’s Not My Time. I’m am struck initially by the urgency with which the unnamed man races over, under, through, and around a city to get to a fateful intersection, races to intervene in what appears to be a tragedy in the making. I find this race a metaphor for Jesus. I am certain as the week moves forward, I’ll have deeper reflections about Jesus and this video but this is where I am starting now.
Jesus races against time and in spite of obstacles to reach us, to stop what could be described as a permanent alienation from the God of the universe. I like the image and hope to elaborate a bit more on it as the week goes by.
