The Forerunner

In the classic battle scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Gandalf appears over the ridge of the mountain just as it seems the battle will be lost. He leads the charge down the mountainside on a white stallion. The scene can function as an analogy for Jesus’s role as our forerunner. He will lead us through the battles of life and into God’s presence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL9vUjm2mIE).
