Great Expectations!


The movie Great Expectations from 1946, gave us much, as a family to discuss, in terms of lessons of character. The question for the week is what is your motivating ambition? What makes you do and grow? What gives you joy and hope? We saw the interplay of the rich and the poor. We saw the interactivity of motivations. The young PIP, grew and prospered and showed the example of a single eyed pursuit of a goal. As people made in the image of God, we are inspired to pursue and to have a single goal of life. Like God, who tells us that His motivation in the New Testament will be to build His Church and the gates of Hell will not prevail. The demons of darkness were exorcised by PIP at the end, in direct imitation of our Savior and Lord, who exorcises all of the lies of the enemy to become the hope and life of His bride, the Church. We anticipate, with sincere hope, the light and life of Jesus being the motivation of the Church, as worked into our souls, by our loving and consistent Savior, Lord and King. Every enemy will be vanquished and crushed, when our Savior comes to us. Every dark way will be changed and cleansed. God is the Lord! Great Expectations on Youtube
