God's Not Dead 2 Page #2

There's nothing wrong

with you asking it, too.

You never let anything get to you.

How do you do that?

Jesus.

Hello?

How'd it go, Amy?

Michael.

It's gone.

My cancer's... it's gone.

Oh, my goodness!

That's incredible!

I know. I just... I can't believe it.

Isn't that what you prayed for?

Yes, of course. I just...

Prayer is a powerful thing,

and it turns out God has

much bigger plans for you.

You okay, Grace?

Yeah, I just can't

stop thinking about Brooke.

You know, she's searching.

She's hurting.

Yeah, that's the thing about atheism.

It doesn't take away the pain;

It just takes away the hope.

What'd you tell her?

The truth.

Now she's free to make her own choice.

Unfortunately, in this day and age,

people seem to forget that the

most basic human right of all

is a right to know Jesus.

Let's put her on the prayer list.

Prayer always seems to be

the last thing we do,

when it should be the first.

Now, how 'bout some more popcorn?

With a glycemic index

of 100, not a chance.

I swear, Grace, if you

don't start feeding me better,

I'm gonna leave you for a nursing home.

Well, that's it for me.

I'm going to bed.

Love ya.

I love you better.

Love you first.

That's unfair.

Gotcha!

Brooke, the people from

that charity place are here

to pick up your brother's things.

Can you make sure they get everything?

And don't forget to put the milk away!

- Well, that's the last of it.

- Thank you.

And, well, I was loading one

of the boxes onto the truck,

I noticed this and I thought

you might wanna keep it.

So sorry for your loss.

And so, peaceful nonviolence

comes first in India under Gandhi,

and then later, here in

the United States under Dr. King

and others as a means

of achieving civil rights.

But what makes nonviolence so radical

is its unwavering commitment

to a nonviolent approach,

not just initially, but in the

face of escalating persecution

by the opposing force.

Yes?

Isn't that sort of like what Jesus meant

when he said that we

should love our enemies?

Yes.

The writer of the Gospel of Matthew

records Jesus as saying,

"You have heard it said,

"love your neighbor and hate your enemy,

"but I tell you, love your enemies

"and pray for those who persecute you,

that you will be children

of your Father in heaven,"

which indicates a commitment

to nonviolence.

Dr. King confirmed the link,

describing his inspiration from Scripture,

saying Christ furnished

the spirit and motivation,

while Gandhi furnished the method.

Except that that didn't work.

Jesus got himself killed

and everybody knows that.

Well, so did Dr. King.

So, I guess it just depends

on how you measure success.
