I usually don’t like Indian films, but
there’s this one I watched a long time ago
that has stuck in my memories.
A poor woman was framed for murdering
her husband. With the poison as the
evidence, there was no possible way of
absolving her of the crime she did not
commit. Her lawyer was a bright law
graduate, fresh from law school.
He could have wished for a better case to
start his legal career, but wishes are not
horses.
Something remarkable happened the day
the case was judged in court. The judge
wanted a quick trail, as the overwhelming
evidence (the poison) was offered as the
one and only piece of evidence by the
prosecution team.
The young lawyer stood up and told the
judge that his client was innocent and
that the purported poison could not kill
even a rat. Before anyone could imagine
where he was going with his argument,
he grabbed the poison and emptied it
into his mouth. The court was in shock.
The widow was acquitted instantly.
The lawyer was operated upon in an
ambulance on the way to the hospital a
few seconds after the court drama, and
he didn’t die. Agreed, this is just fiction,
but the story mirrors what the Bible says
in
John 15:13: “Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.” Jesus actually died for you
and me. There’s therefore no limit to how
far He can go in helping us in times of
trouble!
Psalm 50:15 says, “And call upon me in
the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and
you shall glorify me.”
And Psalm 46:1 say, “God is our refuge
and strength, an ever-present help in
trouble.”
May God's grace, love, joy, goodness and
mercies overshadow you and yours today,
this week, this month, and indeed this
year in Jesus mighty Name. Amen!
Remain blessed!
