Most

Here is a foreign short film entitled, "Most." This is quite powerful. I recently heard a devotional given by a friend of mine that talked about this video as part of his lesson. He told me about this short film. It is a story about a bridge operator who obviously loves his son tremendously. He takes him to work one day and something tragic occurs. He is left to make a choice that I don't think I could bare.... choose between his son's life and the lives of many on a train, several of whom are atheists, drug dealers, prosititutes, etc... I don't suppose it is too difficult to figure out the lesson from the film. It is indeed worth the 6 1/2 minutes it takes to watch.





For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him--John 3:16-17.


For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus--Romans 3:23-26.


He is the propitiation of our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments--1 John 2:2-3.


Have a great day!
