Love vs. Truth (63 of 66)
Series: Route 66: A Road Trip Through the Bible
Tony Thomas
2 John
Most movies are remembered for one, unforgettable line. For example:
1. In Casablanca it was, ''Here's lookin' at ya kid.''
2. In The Wizard of Oz it was, ''There's no place like home.''
3. In Gone With the Wind it was, ''Frankly, my dear, I don't give a darn!'' The word wasn't ''darn'' but this is a family church!
4. In Planet of the Apes it was, ''Take your stinkin' paws off me you ape!''
5. In Love Story it was, ''Love means never having to say you're sorry.''
6. In Star Wars it was, ''Luke ... feel the force.''
7. In Raiders of the Lost Ark it was, ''Snakes? Why'd it have to be snakes?''
8. In Dirty Harry it was, ''Go ahead, make my day!''
9. In Dead Poet's Society it was, ''Carpe, carpe diem. Seize the day.''
10. In Field of Dreams it was, ''If you build it they will come.'' (a lot of churches overbuilt after that movie and they're still paying for it!)
11. In A League of Their Own it was, ''There's no cryin' in baseball!''
12. In Forest Gump it was, ''Life is like a box of chocolates: ya never know what you're gonna get.''
I've got one more unforgettable line from a movie that's now 25-years-old. Tom Cruise was a military lawyer in A Few Good Men. He was defending two Marines who claimed they were following a code red (extrajudicial punishment).
Jack Nicholson played the officer who ordered the Code Red. Cruise had Nicholson on the stand but he was getting nowhere until he shouted, ''I want the truth!'' That's when Nicholson replied, ''You can't handle the truth!''
2 John was written for those who can't handle the truth. We're in a series called Route 66, and we're down to the last four books of the Bible! Three of the last four books are Postcard Epistles. They're short. 2 John has 13 verses, 3 John has 14 verses and Jude has a whopping 25 verses.
I almost miss the 27 chapters of Leviticus! After reading 2 John last Sunday I had t ...
