As we mentioned at the beginning of our series about Esther, everyone loves a good story - so much so that Americans fork over tens of millions of dollars at the movies each weekend. Often, the most captivating movies include a famous line that gets quoted again and again. Here are some examples: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a ..." Gone with the Wind (1939) "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." The Godfather (1972) "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.” The Wizard of Oz (1939) "Here's looking at you, kid.” Casablanca (1942) "Go ahead, make my day.” Sudden Impact (1983) “May the Force be with you.” Star Wars (1977) “E.T. phone home” (1982) “You can’t handle the truth!” A Few Good Men (1992) “My precious” The Lord of the Rings: The Two towers (2002) “I feel the need-the need for speed!” Top Gun (1986) “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary!” Dead Poets Society (1989) What would you add to the list? Here are a few more: “Maybe you have been chosen to be the queen for such a time as this.” and "And if I perish, I perish.” from the story of Esther (338+-BC) (There are few movies that include both this lines.) Join us for this message as we unpack why those two lines are still relevant to the world we live in almost 2,500 years later.
