A white woman runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere, with night approaching. During the night, she is confronted by a black man. Neither will ever forget the encounter.
This movie reminds us in many way of our God. God is ever willing to help us and for our salvation he sent his only son to die on the cross. But sinners that we are, we reject his love and his invitation. We are obsessed by our own righteousness and feel that we do not need God to be saved. Hence we have closed our ears and our eyes to the message of the Bible. We feel that we deserve heaven on our own merit. Some of us even mock God thinking that he does not exist.
But know that, sinner or saint no one deserves heaven on his own merit. Even if you have closed your eyes and your ears, God will never give up on you. He will try to reach you in all ways possible through various people. But he will never force himself on you. That choice to accept or reject God is in your hands. Only question that remains is whether you will be saved before it is too late?
