Beauty and the Beast is an interesting story, which we can all relate to. A story of someone that cared and loved the Beast for what it was- Ugly, Angry, One who lays in his own self-pity. I could go on with the charteristics of the Beast, but what had happened? The Beauty loved the Beast enough in the end that changed the Beast, making him a Beauty as well.

But I wonder, what would have happened if the Beauty never existed? If the Beast was left to wither in it's own self-pity? Or better yet, what would have happened to the Beast if the Beauty did exist but just didn't care? What would have become of the Beast? It's interesting to think about what could have happened over what did happen. Lucky for us the Beauty did care for the Beast, the Beauty did love the Beast, changing the Beast into a Beauty as well.

So what's all this talk about Beauty and the Beast? It's just a Disney fairytale in the end isn't it? Or is it more? Was there a message lying there underneath all the fancy artwork that Disney produced without realizing they were doing such a thing for us?

Who do you relate to the most? The Beauty or the Beast? There is a part inside of us that is always Beastly, always ugly. Sure, there was a time that this was not the case, that pureness was there, that true Beauty existed in us. In the Garden of Eden existed Beauty until the day the Beast inside came out, and it only grew more Beastly as time went on.

So the Beauty (Jesus) was sent to save each of the Beasts, to transform the Beast like in the story into a Beauty themselves. Though the real life story of The Beauty and The Beast is much more than the Disney movie could ever interept. A Beauty, that loved and cared enough for the Beast to change them to a Beauty themselves, taking the Beastly qualities that we carried and was punishable by death upon the Beauties self and carried them for us, dying in place of the Beast so we could have a chance of being a Beauty as well.

He becomes the beast, so the beast may become the beauty. Jesus changes places with us, takes the curse off of us and puts it on himself. Like Adam and Eve, we were under a curse but because what Christ went thru that curse has been lifted so that we may have a chance of becoming a true Beauty thru him.
