So I know I've posted a similar post to this, but I still am intrigued by "The Fridge" on many aspects. My major point with this film is just how we as Christians and even all human beings, sit back and watch terrible things happen without doing anything about it. I mean, there are many of us that do help out with certain situations, but with other certain situations, will we act on it? Just like in the film, if you saw a kid being forced into a fridge, would you help out and stop the situation? Honestly. For me, I would try to do something to help out as best as I could. Then come to the fact where that we don't want any harm to come to ourselves. Is this selfish, or is it just to protect ourselves? This still leaves me questioning. Just like the people who hide themselves in their houses, we sit back to protect ourselves because we don't want to get involved. We need to step out of that house/protection and have faith at the same time to help and do as Christ would. Christ calls us to serve in one another in love as he did. I read some of a writing piece by Gene Taylor that I'll quote - "Romans 12:1-2 encourages Christians to be "living sacrifices" for the Lord. That is accomplished when we start living for the Lord and doing those things His will would have him do. One of the things the Lord wants His disciples to do is to serve others. He illustrated and emphasized this in John 13." Exactly.
1 Peter 4:10
10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms
Just by this verse alone, we shall use what we have to serve God and others. He gives us so much, so use that to serve others. Now going back to the film again, the firefighters at the end, are we those people who help out but don't act quickly? Do we tend to let things happen and follow up on as if we were going to help? Don't wait to act. I feel we should be that person who can jump on any situation and provide.
