First day of Asia Conference I was already seeing stars.
Berlinda Lee and Jack Neo are members of my church. Along with a few others. The church took some time to interview Jack Neo about his born again experience.
He shared a lot of things. When asked how does his movies struck a cord with the audience, he couldn't be more correct: these are movies about the everyday Singaporean doing the everyday Singaporean thing, and neglecting the most important thing: love.
People are lost and they don't know where to find love. They look high and low in all the wrong places when love is right in front of them.
When Jesus took the cross, He too, did it out of love. But love doesn't have to be dramatic like His final hours on earth. It is found in the more subtle actions that we always take for granted. In a phone call, a loving look, a simple home-cooked meal, spending time together. All done because of love.
In this week:
How many times have you had dinner with your family? How many sentences did you speak to mom on the phone? How many times did you hang up impatiently? Did you even call her this week?
Only when a problem is given the full, uninterupted attention, will you be able to see what exactly is the problem. Jack highlighted these problems in his movies. And because the audience is watching in the enclosure of a darkened hall, they see the light.
And the message struck a cord.
