In the film ’The Shawshank Redemption’, the main character Andy Dufresne risks his life by speaking personally to the brutal chief prison guard. But by giving the man some sound financial advice, he secures a break with some beers for his fellow prisoners, although he himself does not drink a single drop. Hence we see a faint shadow of the selflessness that our Lord Jesus Christ displayed for us on the Cross.
