Video of the Day: Clip from the 1993 film “Fugitive”
Bible Verse of the Day:
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him, Colossians 3:17.
Biblical Connection:
Harrison Ford plays Dr. Kimble, who is falsely accused of killing his wife. Following a wreck on the way to prison, Dr. Kimble escapes without any major injuries, now a fugitive on the run who is trying to find the man who killed his wife. As Kimble seeks to connect the dots, he has flashbacks of the man he wrestled with, the real killer of his wife. In the meantime, Dr. Kimble risks blowing his cover as a janitor to save a little boy’s life.
Today’s verse was introduced to me through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. After hearing Colossians 3:17 for the first time, I adopted this as a life verse to live by. Despite being a wanted fugitive, Dr. Kimball remembers the oath he made as a doctor in medical school to help people. Christians should possess a similar desire, to meet the needs of individuals that God places into our lives. This is the apostle Paul’s call to members of the Church at Colosse: to act and speak like Jesus.
Closing Song:
Sometimes adult Christians make faith in Jesus more complicated than what it is. May the lyrics of Who Will Be Jesus inspire you to live out your faith in word and deed to uplift struggling members of the body of Christ.
