International Chinese Classical Dance Competition...

Art - also dancing has been one of the best ways we humans have explained our humanity to each other - and as such I love it. Some of the dance moves were exquisite.

However to claim that art can captivate/portray the Divine is not my style - mainly because Jesus shows me a very different reality about the Divine when it comes to humanity - for the sad Truth is that as God's image bearers we got precious little Divine left to celebrate - indeed a mourning of the Divine would be more appropriate Revelation 1 teaches.

Peace.



Revelation 1:4b-8

Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Beautiful video.

Beautiful! So graceful and so strong! Like a marriage between ballet and gymnastics! Thanks for sharing!

(BTW I couldn't even dream of bending like that!)

That was really nice!!!

I attended a Chinese church when I was in grad school and they put on ballet for some events (e.g., when they were raising money for Katrina victims). Very beautiful. I also saw some opera when I was in Beijing, but I don't think I was old enough to appreciate it at the time.
