Taken (The Movie)
“You came for me, you came for me” says the broken down
young girl in the arms of her rescuing father.
She rebelled, was sold into prostitution, on the brink of being murdered
by her evil kidnapper. She was hopeless, crying now in the arms of her heroic rescuing father.
The father comforting her simply says “I told you I would.”
He told us He would in the Old Testament.
Psalm 18:16-18 English Standard Version (ESV)
16 He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of
many waters.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who
hated me,
for they were too
mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was
my support.
He rescued us in the New Testament.
Romans 5
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by
his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if
while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much
more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
His promise of rescue stands today.
2 Timothy 4:18 English Standard Version (ESV)
18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me
safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
