Rob-B-Hood

I’ve just watched Rob-B-Hood with MSL friends at GoldenVillage,
VivoCity.

There are 17 of us that went. (19 to be exact, but two
didn’t watch the show)

It’s a great comedy.
Typical Jackie-Chan-Style comedy,
but the show does not fail to include a few important
good values.

 

There’s one particular phrase from Slipper (Jackie Chan)
that struck me.

“贼也有道德的。偷抢拐骗、奸淫老良、
杀人放火，我们不做。”

In English,
Roughly, it means thieves hold on to moral values too.

 

 

Below are my thoughts and reflection after the movie.

 
What caused him to hold on to his values?
He is a thief after all.
There must be something that he base his believes on.

 

Is that what we called conscience?

But what is the foundation of conscience?
Where does conscience comes from?
Why do we humans have conscience?

Well, in the movie, Slippers put it all out to save the
baby?
What is the cause of his actions?

 
He must have felt something deep in his heart
that tells him that what he did is RIGHT!

So he felt something….?

What is the “something” that he has felt?
What makes him feel that way?

What incredible power has the baby had,
that changes Slipper completely?

Slipper did mention about the importance of the baby to the
baby’s mother.
The baby was her PRECIOUS.
There’s “something”, something special that bonds the mother and the baby;
“something”, some unknown biochemistry hormone reaction.

Is that “something” called LOVE?

 

Wow!! The power of LOVE huh!

Therefore, It’s not very hard to recognize that the LOVE
between a mother and a child is an image of God’s love towards us.

“For God so loved the world that he gives his one and only
son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16)

 
God put it all out to rescue us from DEATH!

Because,

“..the consequences of sin is DEATH,……” (Romans 6:23a)

But

“…the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

(Romans 6:23b)

 

Slipper put in his best effort to save that the baby’s life;

Similarly, God has given us His one and only son to us,
sinners, so that we will have eternal life?

His target is everyone! 

"…not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:8b)
 

 

Amazing Love.
