LOTR has a message in the story?

I feel there are various messages within Lord of the Rings.
Yet at the same time, I feel I enjoy Lord of the Rings more when taking it as just a story.
A good story like this seems to take one away from the common world to another place, and changes one's mood.
J. R. R. Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic from boyhood, and he described The Lord of the Rings in particular as a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision". While he insisted it was not an allegory, it contains numerous themes from Christian theology.
