Reaction paper : The Bridge Master

“The Salvation of all required the sacrifice of one most dear”

John 3:16

“For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever shall believe in Him shall not perish, but have an eternal life.”

The movie clip is really nice. Even though it’s short and simple it gives a whole lot of meaning. In life, everyday, every person has to sacrifice, may it be for the good of others or for thy self. Problems, tragedies, illnesses, storms, treachery, loneliness, anger, pain. Life is full of surprises. But for us to exactly know the meaning of life, God gave us all this problems for us to know ourselves more and to really trust in Him, to test our faith. He will never leave us alone. He loves us very much that He even gave His only begotten Son for us to be saved from the fires of hell. Christ the Son of our Lord is our saviour. Because of Him we are still alive and we still experience the lusciousness of life.

Aboard that train, different people were on it. Different lives but all were loved by God. The test was given to the bridge master. He had a happy life - a job whom he loves and a son who is with him through it all. But sometimes, life has its own ways of giving a person its tests. He was challenge, either to let all the people on the train die or let his son be crushed by the bridge and let all the people on the train live. It was a crucial decision, but because there are more lives on the train, he chose to let the bridge down for the train to pass. The only problem, his son would die... Is this fair? For some reasons, in the bridge master’s place, it was difficult to choose but all throughout, it was the right thing to do. It is sad for any parent to let go of his child, to die and to save a whole lot of lives. He thought he could still save his son, but he’s only human and human’s get hurt too.

Even the people aboard didn’t even know what was happening. All of them had their own problems and lives. They didn’t even know that a mere second ago, their lives were in danger. With just a pull of a lever they were all saved and only one life was perished. What if the bridge master didn’t pull the lever and went to save his son? All those people would surely die. But because he was thinking of all of those people on the train, he chose to sacrifice, to let go of his only son, his only family. Those people didn’t even know that they were saved by the bridge master because they were selfish enough to care and besides, they were ignorant to what was going around them. As long as they live, as long as they are happy, they’re okay. They were so occupied with their own lives they forget to thank or even apologize to the people around them. The bridge master is like God and the people on the train are like us whom are selfish and only think of our own selves.

God is always watching us. Looking down at us and guiding us in our everyday lives. He doesn’t want us to get hurt or lose our way. He wants us to follow Him and not be taken by the dark side. God loves us so much that He even sent His Son - Jesus Christ to take away all our sins. Sometimes we even forget to thank Him, and instead we still make the things he doesn’t want us to do. God the Father is like our own dad. He wants the best for us and he doesn’t want us to get hurt or be on the wrong side. Somehow, even in the simplest ways or maybe in our greatest ways, we should always obey Him. He gave us this life we have right now and we surely have to use it for good.

“For the greater good.” I always keep this mind. This is a quote from Dumbledore, a character in Harry Potter. Like him, he also wants the best for his students. He would do anything for them to be safe. He would always think of the others safety instead of his own. He is always making the right decisions though it’s not always accurate but he knows best. I sometimes look up to him. Even though he is just a fictional character from a book, but you can always get lessons from him that really helps one person in tackling life’s imperfections. Or maybe, I should look up to the author herself, J.K Rowling. Everyone has his unique way of seeing life. But for most, they always think of the good of the many than the few.

The Bridge master is like God.
He sacrificed His one and only Son, Jesus Christ Who died on the cross for our Sins.
To give us hope for the future. To remind us that whatever happens, God will always be with us. Even if we’ve done a lot of awful things in our pasts or have lost our faith in Him. We are only human and we make sins. We have to always trust in him. He will never forsake us. If He sent His only begotten Son for us to be saved from the fires of hell, what more could He give us if we only stand by His side? God loves us so much and we ought to give the love back by obeying Him. No matter what happens, God will never leave us alone throughout our journey in this world.

major loser

this may sound stupid, but here it goes.
i've always had a crush on this guy, the only problem is...
he is way, way too old for me.
i mean were just ages apart.
he taught me everything i know about one particular thing.
guitar.\m/
i met him when i was in fourth or fifth grade, i think.
as a child, of course i'd be embarrassed if i tell him i like him. LIKE-like.
now, im already in high school, and he’s in college.
last summer ‘08, we really hang out together.
doing stuffs and sometimes chatting about things.
he often comes to my house.
2 months, and summer was over.
i need to go back home and study.
we exchanged messages everynight, and sometimes he actually calls me.
now, the big problem.
LOL.
its not that big.
well, he only confessed to me that he loves me. big deal right?!

i mean, man! that's totally gross!well, yeah. i have a crush on him but i never expected to
turn out this way.
gosh. bull-shark!
i got shy. i keep my distance from him.
and one night, he took back what he had said.
he is such a loser.
he tells me that, maybe i was just too good to be approached,
that’s why he fell for me. or did he?
it makes me sick...
ugh, well, that’s my story.
stupid.stupid.
LOL.
i wish i will never see him again.
