THE HORRIFYING TRUTH

Morpheus

“And standing there facing the pure horrifying precision, I came to
realize the obviousness of the truth.”

“What is the Matrix?

“Control …the Matrix is a computer generated dream world built
to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this
(points to a battery).”

Matrix

The decision to pursue our search for truth eventually leads us to answers.
The answers we find may not be the answers we want to hear and may be
hard to accept.

Morpheus finds the truth of the Matrix to be horrifying. While Neo
responds by saying,“I don ’t believe it … it ’s not possible!”

The realization that something is terribly wrong with our world is heart-
breaking and difficult to accept.The truth that Neo had to face was that
he was living in a dream world built to control him and enslave him;that
he was nothing more than an energy source for the machines. As long as
he was plugged into the system he was unaware of this horrifying reality.

The truth also leads us to the realization that something is terribly wrong
with our world. And this realization leads us to the answer to The Question.
We realize that we are slaves to sin and selfishness;controlled by or influenced heavily by the ways of our culture or society.That we are headed toward alienation from God and the consequences that follow that way of life.

Along with this disturbing truth we find the answer to The Question —
hope. We find that we still matter to someone. We find a Creator who
has a plan to fix the problem of our world;to save and redeem our fallen
world. In this plan we find promise and a sense of belonging.We begin to
understand that the reason we exist is because God created us to love us
and he wants to have a relationship with us.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3::16 (NIV).
