Arwen's Love for Aragorn - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I’d like to talk about the sacrifice that Arwen made to be with Aragorn, and the likeness of the sacrifice Jesus made. Obviously Arwen had the opportunity to leave Middle Earth, leave all the war and pain behind. Also one must consider the possibility that all would be lost, that Sauron would take the Ring and no thing on Middle Earth could stop him. She risked the pain, and all the other risks of her staying, to stay and wait for Aragorn. This shows great love! She might have died while waiting for the battle to end and the Ring be destroyed so she could be reunited with Aragorn. She knew the risk; she knew she might not even see him again. She risked all that to be with Aragorn. She had the opportunity to be in paradise, but she stayed in Middle Earth, with overwhelming anxiety, waiting. She set aside her immortality to be mortal, so she could be with Aragorn and he could be with her. She exhibited extraordinary love. I have said before that Lord of the Rings is very similar to an allegory. Arwen’s love is very similar to the love of one who existed in reality, Jesus. Jesus set aside his immortality and took flesh to come and live among us. He suffered so that our sins could be paid for. He died so we could truly be in his presence, here on earth, and so that we could be with him in heaven after our death. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” –John 3:16, NKJV- He died and suffered so much pain so that we (mankind) could be together with Him in paradise. All he asked was that we accept his gift, that we truly accept him as savior.
“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” –Romans 10:9, NKJV- So as you see, Arwen loved Aragorn greatly, and Jesus loved us very greatly too. I don't mean to offend anybody by posting this. I'll ask a simple question, what do you think about this. That might not be very simple and it might be to broad a question. But I would like some feed back from other Lord of the Rings fans.
