C.S. Lewis observed, “If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. The apostles themselves, who set on foot the conversion of the Roman Empire, the great men who built up the Middle Ages, the English

O Lord, how shall I meet Thee,
How welcome Thee aright?
Thy people long to greet Thee,
My Hope, my heart’s Delight!
Oh, kindle, Lord most holy,
Thy lamp within my breast
To do in spirit lowly
All that may please Thee best.

Green boughs and fairest palms,
And I, too, will

I want to conclude with a clip. This movie is the story of a POW camp that was forced to build an important and strategic bridge. In this scene, one man unexpectedly decides to intervene on behalf of another. He does it out of his convictions and the love of God in him.

I remember the monarchy’s coronations and highlights of marriages and awards. Images of rows of royal guards in their red and black, white horses and gloss black carriages, gold crowns and silk, velvety robes. As the pomp and ceremony captivate our eyes we hear Jesus saying, “Not even the queen,

“Empty Hands” by Martha Nicholson
One by one He took them from me, All the things I valued most;
Until I was empty-handed, Every glittering toy was lost.
And I walked earth’s highways, grieving, In my rage and poverty,

So I held my
