Is it worth the effort?
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths,
where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said,
‘We will not walk in it.’
The Monuments Men (2014) True Story
The film tells the true story of a small group—museum directors, curators, art historians, and
architects—who were sent into Nazioccupied Europe toward the end of WWII. Their mission:
recover masterpieces stolen by the Nazis and return them to their rightful owners, all while
racing time before destruction.
1. Restoration of What Was Stolen
Biblical Comparison: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may
have life and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10
- Your children
- Your ministry
2. Fighting for Things That Seem Forgotten
2 Samuel 21: 10 Now Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until the late rains poured on them from heaven. And she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night.
3. Every Piece Matters
Biblical Comparison: “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is
forgotten by God.” – Luke 12:6
YOU MATTER!
In the movie – They found a treasure in a wall.
- The tanks came to tare it down, and one of the monuments men’s stood in front of the
tank and said STOP!
There are some things with fighting for!
The miracle is not in what you have lost, It’s what you have left.
- What you have right now !
