The theme of the movie was one of Faith. Do we put our hopes on people only to have them disappoint us later in life or do we put our trust in God, in my case, Jesus Christ! And can we really forgive others as the Lord our God has forgiven us with the blood of Christ on the Cross. In the movie, the main characters chose to forgive others even when others ill treated them, even to the point of repaying evil with good. They forgave their dad who abused them when they were younger, and came back to care for their dad when he was bedridden because of stroke. How many of us could do that!? Their portrayal of Faith was one of obedience in their daily walk with God. God and prayer was never far from their daily life.
This movie really shook me faith wise and forces me to re-examine my life in Christ and am I really living my life for Him? Am I obedient? How is my daily walk with God? Even I have to admit, work has overcome me, I no longer spend time praying as much as I had while I was still studying, even I failed to finish my 2009 Bible reading plan.
In the movie, they quoted from the Bible. The other character asked, was in from Matthew, but the other character said no, it was from Paul, but not Paul the Apostle. It was another Paul. Even I who have studied Matthew 3 times cldn't b too sure whether what was quoted was from Matthew.
But I thank God for on Christmas He spoke to me, He told me what I shld want in 2010, and the answer is "All I want is a closer walk with You!" Amen,
