Schindler's List
It's all about bringing people to Heaven. Or rather, it's about saving people frm Hell.
I just watched Schindler's List. I think my life changed abit tonight. If you haven't heard about Oscar Schindler, go watch it man. A true story! Basically, it was during the brutal massacre of the Jews, and this brave soul was purely there to do business and gain from the war, starting a factory that made pots and pans, and later ammunitions. And he was a sinful man, gambling and drinking etc. He later made connections with the top generals of the Nazis, and later had permission to employ Jews for cheap labor. And his employees would actually be saved, because they were considered as essential workers or something like that. He had to 'buy' them though. At first, he just wanted to make money. But his heart began to change after witnessing the countless deaths in the camps. In the end, he saved 1100 people, till he was broke.
The mass murders were so horrifying. Extremly horrifying. There was this one part where a group of women and small girls had to go naked into what looked like a gas chamber. There were sprays hanging from the ceiling, ready to spurt out poisonous gases. And the lights suddenly went off, and all of them started screaming terribly. But miracles do happen, so watch the movie if you wanna know what happened to them. Harhar. Yup but the gas chambers did happen in real life, and it's such an awful thought. So were the incinerators and mass shootings. Just horrified man..don't think i can sleep already. It's 2.33am Singapore time right now!
Ok my england ain't PAUderful enough to express all this in words, but the scene that moved me was the last few mins when the war actually ended. Oscar had to flee to avoid being captured, since the Allies were in control by then. Before he left, all 1100 Jews were standing around him, bidding farewell. And I thought he would celebrate. I thought he would give some grand farewell speech. Wish them good luck. Maybe hug every one of them. Throw a farwell celebration.
But he wept.
He wept. He pointed to the car in front of him and said," This car could have saved 10 more." He took a badge made purely of gold on his jacket," This could have saved one more. One more!" He wept bitterly. "It could have saved one more!"
Immediately, Pastor Rick Warren came to mind. Haha his one more thingy. If Oscar did not waste away his money, he could have saved many more. From the gas chambers. From the incinerators. From the bullets.
Alrighty lessons i can learn!! Sounds Taupok-y. Hahaha. Go off to read other blogs if you're bored. This is for me to put down my thoughts, though I reallyreally hope it can bless you!! Yes YOU!! YOU who's reading this!! HAHAHA.
Oscar wasted money. So what have we been wasting? I guess I can relate that to TIME. And maybe the chances that we had to share the gospel. And at the end, I don't want to be weeping and saying I could have saved 10 more or 1 more. Because the horrors of hell are so real. If Man can devise such evil tortures, I wonder how much more horrifying hell is. And there's reallyreally no time to waste. It's urgent.
Lesson 2!! Oscar actually had a sidekick, Itzhak Stern, a Jewish accountant. Without him, Oscar wouldn't have probably saved anyone. He made the lists of thousands, pulled people out just before they were sent away to be executed, did all the accounts and everything. And I know that our God specialises in using sidekicks. We may not see how doing background work and being faithful in the small things can bring glory to His kingom, but we never know how He can use those small things to bring salvations and save souls. With the horrors of hell so close, it's not about bringing glory to ourselves or anything, but it's really about being part of His plan to save more from hell. There's no time to think about glory for ourselves really. Because that could cost 1 more. Maybe 10 more. Oh and in the end, of course, Itzhak himself was saved.
Lesson 3!! I've always wondered why on earth did I choose a business course. I'm just not cut for it. Always kena CORN. HA. jargong. And i've always asked God how would He be able to use this for His glory. This movie just answered it. It was business that brought Oscar to the Jews. The people he was going to save. It was business that brought Oscar to the people he was going to save. I know that many of us are asking why one earth are we where we are right now. Surely it dosen't seem like God can use JC life for His glory?!? All they teach is completely irrelevant!!! Everything seems so meaningless!! Oh yeah. You never know how God can use YOU for His glory. How you are fitting exactly into His plan. And how He may even use that to bring you to the souls you are going to save. So hang in there and wait for the GLORY OF HIS PLAN:):) Harhar.
Alright that's about it. It's 3.14 AM Spore time. I'm slow, but it's alright. Coz i'm on the way to saving souls. I hope i'll keep this movie in mind when my evangelism passion dies out. Coz it's not even about passion or spreading the gospel only when I feel like it. It's about saving souls. Just doing it. Just keep saving and saving, more from the horrors of hell. Clearly, Hitler and his soldiers represent the devil and his minions. And the day will come when the war is over. And we'll all be liberated. Schindler's List? The Book of Life. And I know my name is written on it. I'm saved from the horrors. I'm saved! I'm saved!!! Thank You Lord!!! Thank You!!!!
Jesus You are my Reward
To see Your face on that day
It's all I'm living for
