Falling Down: Injustice
Contributed by Johnny A. Palmer Jr. on Dec 14, 2011 (message contributor)
FALLING DOWN: INJUSTICE
Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down, portrays a man who has lost his family and job. He goes off the deep end striking out at those whom he believes are the cause of the worlds injustices. In the end he takes his own life.
The Lord Jesus came to a world full of injustices, but unlike Michael in the movie, He gave His life in order to remove man's sin and satisfy Gods righteous demands.
