The Bridge Master and His Son

The Bridge Master and His Son

John 3:16

“For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever shall believe in Him shall not perish, but have an eternal life.”

The movie clip is really nice. Even though it’s short and simple it gives a whole lot of meaning. In life, everyday, every person has to sacrifice, may it be for the good of others or for thy self. Problems, tragedies, illnesses, storms, treachery, loneliness, anger, pain. Life is full of surprises. But for us to exactly know the meaning of life, God gave us all this problems for us to know ourselves more and to really trust in Him, to test our faith. He will never leave us alone. He loves us very much that He even gave His only begotten Son for us to be saved from the fires of hell. Christ the Son of our Lord is our saviour. Because of Him we are still alive and we still experience the lusciousness of life.

Aboard that train, different people were on it. Different lives but all were loved by God. The test was given to the bridge master. He had a happy life - a job whom he loves and a son who is with him through it all. But sometimes, life has its own ways of giving a person its tests. He was challenge, either to let all the people on the train die or let his son be crushed by the bridge and let all the people on the train live. It was a crucial decision, but because there are more lives on the train, he chose to let the bridge down for the train to pass. The only problem, his son would die... Is this fair? For some reasons, in the bridge master’s place, it was difficult to choose but all throughout, it was the right thing to do. It is sad for any parent to let go of his child, to die and to save a whole lot of lives. He thought he could still save his son, but he’s only human and human’s get hurt too.

Even the people aboard didn’t even know what was happening. All of them had their own problems and lives. They didn’t even know that a mere second ago, their lives were in...
