In J.R.R. Tolkien’s book “The Two Towers” things look pretty bad for protagonists Frodo and Sam. It looks like evil is succeeding, righteousness perishing, and the natural world darkening. They’re alone. They’re surrounded. They’re small. Yet they have an epic task to accomplish.
“Standing there for a moment filled with dread Frodo became aware that a light was shining; ...The brief glow fell upon a huge sitting figure, still and solemn as the great stone kings of Argonath. The years had gnawed it, and violent hands had maimed it. Its head was gone, and in its place was set in mockery a round rough-hewn stone, rudely painted by savage hands in the likeness of a grinning face with one large red eye in the midst of its forehead. Upon its knees and mighty chair, and all about the pedestal, were idle scrawls mixed with the foul symbols that the maggot-folk of Mordor used. Suddenly, caught be the level beams, Frodo saw he old king’s head: it was lying rolled away by the roadside. ‘Look, Sam!’ he cried, startled into speech. ‘Look! The king has got a crown again!’
The eyes were hollow and the carven beard was broken, but about the high stern forehead there was a coronal of silver and gold. A trailing plant with flowers like small white stars had bound itself across the brows as if in reverence for the fallen king, and in the crevices of his stony hair yellow stonecrop gleamed. ‘They cannot conquer forever!’ said Frodo.”
Humanity is like that statue. Once glorious but now ruined. On this trip we hope to catch a glimpse of who we really are and who we shall become in Christ.
