“The Messenger’s Box” is a unique and inspirational story that bridges the gap between the time of Christ and the present. The box turns out to be a symbol or allegory of Christ’s redemption and healing for human lives. The box is left for a man’s grandson, Jake, to find. Jake experiences a flash of light and an image of Christ’s crucifixion when he opens the box. He experiences a great sense of peace, too. Later, he finds a nail in the box, as well. He knows there is something unique about it, but not everyone experiences this phenomenon as Jake does. However, a bully, named Richie, who picks on Jake, experiences it and the box freaks him out.
Later, the story reveals why Richie experienced the images of the box as Jake did. Richie will need a miracle — one that will require God’s help. Did God bring Jake into Richie’s life as part of a divine plan, in order to save Richie’s life? We are pleased to award “The Messenger’s Box” our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for ages 12-plus. The box, and the movie, contain a message of hope.
