When General Frank Savage said, “consider yourselves already dead” (Zanuck, 1949), it reminded me of another movie, a Band of Brothers where one of the paratroopers confesses to his sargent, when he jumped out of the plane, that he immediately dug a fox hole and laid there until it was safe. The sargent asked him why he thought he did that and his response was that he was afraid. His sargent responded by saying, no it was because he still had hope to live. Before the trooper came out of that plane, he needed to have the resolve that he was already dead and was on borrowed time. In a very similar sense, we too must have the same resolve to accomplish anything of worth. Once a Christian has come to the understanding that they are on borrowed time, then and only then will they take the courage to stand strong for what they believe and dare to follow in the steps of Christ. Christianity and ministry are not for the faint of heart because if a person has that mindset they will not stand when it comes time to take courage in the face of danger or in the loneliest of times when we feel that God is not around.
