MOVIE REVIEW: Breakthrough – Faith, Trust and Life’s Miracles

49 While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” 50 But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” 51 And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52 And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.” 53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” – Luke 8:49-54

The 20th Century Fox film Breakthrough is a true story that has many strong moral messages.

Here are some of the moral messages:

The family is our strength. The family of God is what binds us together has human beings. The love of one another and praying make a difference.

This film tells the true story of a young boy who dies and miraculously comes back to life. It is about a mother’s love for her adopted son. It is about how a faith based community came together to pray for God’s healing upon a boy. It is about the importance of what our police, EMS and firefighters do to help save us.

Most of all it is about the power of prayer, faith and redemption.

I highly recommend everyone see Breakthrough. Especially if you are a non-believer.
