Nena can be depicted as a story about God working in the lives of His people to display His example of what a Christian follower should be. But, really, James has a lot of issues to deal with, and plenty of faults to correct as he is moment by moment sanctified more into the image of the Perfect Redeemer, Christ. Nena is simply the link that gets people to watch the short because she really is a cute dog.
For those who thought that Nena was like this 21st century version of Lassie...well...she isn't. She can't bark a language James can understand when a little boy is stuck inside a well somewhere. Or a type of dog who rescues men from burning buildings. She can barely lift up her own chew toy. Nena is simply a dog God gave James dominion over to teach him patience and all the other fruits of the spirit.
I hope you really enjoy this blog and the Nena short film series. I will do my best to keep these short films Christ-centered, entertaining, but convicting, by God's Grace.
