7 Pounds at Monday, May 04, 2009

I just recently sat down with my wife and watched the movie 7 Pounds, and I will say that it was probably the most depressing moving ever, but it had a lot of good things to think about. If you haven't seen the movie well you might want to stop reading because I will probably ruin it for you, but proceed with caution. SPOILER ALERT...

Will Smith is the main character in this movie he takes the life of Seven people. One being someone real close to him. From then on his whole motive is to give someone a chance to live. A good person who wants to do good in the world. He goes through asking personal questions to weed out the one's that he feels don't deserve it. This is everything that he gave to people:

A Heart
Eyes
Bone Marrow
Kidney
Lung Lobe
House
Liver

All of these things is life changing for the seven people, but for some of these donations one person is going to have to give up his life. As I watched the movie myself I began to think if I had a opportunity to change 7 peoples life would I be as committed to doing that.

We go through our days and sometimes don't even carry on a conversation with that customer service agent, neighbor, sales clerk, cashier. We have a chance to help change someone's life, but it did cost a life to do that. His name is Jesus who died on the cross for all of our sins, and he gave up his life so that you may have eternal life. Life won't get easier when you surrender your life to him, but you will be able to make it when the road seems to get smaller.

Will Smith gave up seven things that would alter someone's life, but Jesus gave up his whole life for you.

God Bless Everyone
