Yesterday I watched a really good show on channel 5, 10pm. The title is "Tears of the sun" starring Bruce Willis. At first, I thought its those boring war movies, the US soldiers battling wars. But as I watched the show, I was totally encaptured by the touching story.
Bruce Willis is a US lieutanent leading his team on a mission to bring a female doctor from Nigeria back to US. As Nigeria was having terrorist attacks, they needed to protect her from those brutal guerillas who killed anyone mercilessly. When the US army finally got her on a helicopter back to US, she wanted to bring along those innocent Nigerians along with them. However, Bruce Willis did what he was commanded to do - to bring her to safety only & nothing else. On the way back, Bruce suddenly commanded his team to go back & bring along the Nigerians with them. However, to their horror, the guerillas were waiting for them to ambush them. The story went on with the guerillas on hot pursuit on the US soldiers & the people. The US soldiers fought bravely with their lives to protect the people. To cut the story short, they managed to bring the people out of the bondage of the terrorists and found a new place for them to live peacefully.
What touches me was the bravery of the US soldiers who fought their lives to save the innocent people. Some of them even sacrificed their lives during the battle, for the sake of their freedom. As I pondered through, God reminded me that we should be like the soldiers, fighting our lives to save the people from the bondage of satan. Sometimes, we could have done nothing like Bruce Willis and go back to our comfortable lives. But Bruce Willis turned back and chose to risk his life to save the lives of others. As a Christian, we should lay our lives for the primary purpose of God - to bring the unsaved out of the darkness and into eternity with Jesus. I teared as I prayed to God. "Father, I lay down my life at the altar once again, it is not me that live, but it is You that lives in me. Use me again to bring the unsaved out of the bondage of satan & into freedom in Christ Jesus."
To end off, a quote from the show which really catches my heart - "The only necessary evil thing a good man will do is to do nothing." Will we do nothing & watch people die w/o Christ eveyday?
