Prague is considered one of the
most beautiful cities in Europe
00:00:28.16\00:00:31.19
It's the capital of the Czech
republic and the historical
00:00:31.23\00:00:35.10
capital of Bohemia. Situated on
the Vltava River it's known as
00:00:35.13\00:00:40.84
the city of a hundred spires,
the golden city and a fairytale
00:00:40.87\00:00:46.64
town. Prague's descriptive nick
names embody its beauty with
00:00:46.68\00:00:51.21
ancient bridges, baroque
palaces, gothic cathedrals,
00:00:51.25\00:00:55.65
cobblestone lanes and the
largest castle complex in the
00:00:55.68\00:01:00.72
world. Prague is simply
and stunningly beautiful. But
00:01:00.76\00:01:05.69
there's a dark spot, a terrible
stain on this beautiful city.
00:01:05.73\00:01:11.40
On the outskirts of Prague is
the Terezin concentration camp.
00:01:11.43\00:01:18.04
It was established by the Nazi
S.S. during World War II. Tens
00:01:18.07\00:01:22.21
of thousands of people died
here Some were killed outright.
00:01:22.24\00:01:26.41
Others died from malnutrition
and disease. More than 150,000
00:01:26.45\00:01:33.46
others including tens of
thousands of children were held
00:01:33.49\00:01:37.69
here for months and
years before being sent by rail
00:01:37.73\00:01:42.36
transports to their deaths
at Treblinka and Auschwitz
00:01:42.40\00:01:44.90
extermination camps in occupied
Poland. Even now decades later
00:01:44.93\00:01:51.37
we're all appalled at the
evil of the holocaust, It seems
00:01:51.41\00:01:56.68
hardly a year or two goes by
without a new book, a new movie,
00:01:56.71\00:02:01.08
dealing with the holocaust. It's
as if we are still trying to
00:02:01.12\00:02:05.15
come to comes to grips with it.
For instance Rudolph Hoess had
00:02:05.19\00:02:09.62
been the commandant at the most
infamous of all Nazi death camps
00:02:09.66\00:02:12.83
Even after the war when
interviewed he was asked how
00:02:12.86\00:02:18.83
many people were murdered there
under his watch and then just
00:02:18.87\00:02:23.44
like a businessman talking about
how many bags of potato chips
00:02:23.47\00:02:27.51
were sold in a certain
time frame, he responded:
00:02:27.54\00:02:31.31
How do you grasp such evil?
I don't think we can and yet at
00:02:39.22\00:02:45.63
the same time amid all the evil
we can find amazing stories of
00:02:45.66\00:02:51.23
good. That is, some people
just can't sit by and do nothing
00:02:51.27\00:02:56.77
while something so bad unfolds
around them. And one of these
00:02:56.81\00:03:01.58
people was Sir Nicholas Winton,
a British business man who
00:03:01.61\00:03:06.68
interrupted a ski vacation
in order to take on himself an
00:03:06.72\00:03:11.35
incredible task. In today's
program, Save One Life, Save the
00:03:11.39\00:03:16.73
World we're going to look at
this amazing story and see what
00:03:16.76\00:03:20.66
it can teach us about
the reality of good and evil
00:03:20.70\00:03:23.57
and right and
00:03:23.60\00:03:25.27
wrong. Stay tuned for
an Incredible Journey.

00:03:30.07\00:04:00.54
One of the most dynamic and
cosmopolitan cities in Europe
00:04:00.57\00:04:04.14
today is Berlin, Germany. It's
the capital city of the German
00:04:04.17\00:04:08.74
nation. It has six million
residents and is growing rapidly
00:04:08.78\00:04:14.65
Of course, no visit to Berlin
is complete without seeing the
00:04:14.68\00:04:17.82
Brandenburg Gate. It had been
built in 1770s and is the only
00:04:17.85\00:04:23.16
surviving city gate from the
old days in Berlin. It had been
00:04:23.19\00:04:27.76
damaged in World War II but
today is a symbol of the great
00:04:27.80\00:04:32.73
unification of Germany in the
1990s. And near the Brandenburg
00:04:32.77\00:04:38.51
Gate is perhaps the most
emotional site in Berlin. It's
00:04:38.54\00:04:43.01
the memorial to the murdered
Jews of Europe. Yes, right in
00:04:43.04\00:04:47.85
Berlin in what had been the
heart of the Nazi machine is a
00:04:47.88\00:04:52.75
memorial to the holocaust. It
consists of 2711 concrete slabs
00:04:52.79\00:04:58.99
designed in a way to bring
confusion and unease among those
00:04:59.03\00:05:03.23
who walk through them symbolic
of the holocaust while at the
00:05:03.26\00:05:07.47
same time giving the sensation
of a graveyard. Certainly two of
00:05:07.50\00:05:13.64
fitting symbols for the genocide
And there's another site one
00:05:13.68\00:05:18.61
should see in Berlin, a house.
The address is Grofzen Wannsee
00:05:18.65\00:05:23.89
56-58 Berlin. What's so special
about this house? Well it was
00:05:23.92\00:05:31.23
right here in 1942 that a group
of Nazi leaders met and over
00:05:31.26\00:05:36.20
coffee and tea and cakes planned
out the holocaust. To this day
00:05:36.23\00:05:44.67
new stories come out about the
holocaust. It's still hard to
00:05:44.71\00:05:49.01
get our minds around such
unrelenting evil, such unsparing
00:05:49.04\00:05:54.18
cruelty and perpetrated so
coldly and calculatedly. What a
00:05:54.22\00:05:58.82
powerful testament, I think, to
the Biblical doctrine of human
00:05:58.85\00:06:03.43
sinfulness. Perhaps, too, what
is so hard to grasp is that for
00:06:03.46\00:06:09.00
the Nazis all you had to be was
Jewish. That alone was a death
00:06:09.03\00:06:14.40
sentence which meant that
children any age were murdered
00:06:14.44\00:06:18.07
as well. It's been estimated
that one and a half million
00:06:18.11\00:06:22.84
children, mostly Jewish children
but others as well had been
00:06:22.88\00:06:28.95
killed by the Nazi regime. One
and a half million! How can we
00:06:28.98\00:06:32.95
comprehend this? Do we even want
to? But you know amid all the
00:06:32.99\00:06:38.99
barbarity and cruelty there
are also some amazing stories of
00:06:39.03\00:06:43.26
heroism, of kindness, of self
sacrifice. And yes, even in the
00:06:43.30\00:06:48.67
inferno of the holocaust there
were those who worked tirelessly
00:06:48.70\00:06:53.91
to try and save people from what
the Nazis had prepared for them.
00:06:53.94\00:06:57.85
And one of them was an
Englishman, Nicolas Winton.
00:06:57.88\00:07:00.92
He's credited with saving
the lives of 669 children who
00:07:00.95\00:07:07.42
otherwise could have been among
those were murdered at Auschwitz
00:07:07.46\00:07:10.59
No wonder Nicholas Winton has
been called the British Oscar
00:07:10.63\00:07:16.97
Schindler. Now Oscar Schindler
had been a German industrialist
00:07:17.00\00:07:20.27
who saved many Jews during the
holocaust. His story became well
00:07:20.30\00:07:25.37
known after the award-winning
moving by Steven Spielberg
00:07:25.41\00:07:30.41
called Schindler's List.
For this story though we come to
00:07:30.45\00:07:37.29
England to Nicholas George
Winton. He was born here in
00:07:37.32\00:07:40.09
Hampstead London in 1909 to
a German immigrant family. His
00:07:40.12\00:07:45.69
father was a bank manager and
young Winton himself went into
00:07:45.73\00:07:49.63
banking. He worked in banks not
only England but also in Germany
00:07:49.66\00:07:54.47
and France. He eventually
returned to England and became a
00:07:54.50\00:07:59.67
stock broker at the London
Stock Exchange near St. Paul's
00:07:59.71\00:08:02.34
Cathedral in the heart of London
At this point Nicholas Winton
00:08:02.38\00:08:08.22
was living a pretty good life.
In fact in December of 1938 when
00:08:08.25\00:08:13.32
he was 29 years old the young
stock broker was preparing for
00:08:13.36\00:08:17.79
a two-week ski vacation in
Switzerland. He was looking
00:08:17.83\00:08:21.36
forward to having a good time
just relaxing and enjoying a
00:08:21.40\00:08:26.37
holiday in the mountains. But
then something happened. One of
00:08:26.40\00:08:31.84
those moments when all of a
sudden your life takes a radical
00:08:31.87\00:08:36.81
turn, when instantly everything
changes. For Nicolas Winton this
00:08:36.85\00:08:42.88
happened just before his ski
vacation. A friend had called
00:08:42.92\00:08:47.36
him from Prague, Czechoslovakia.
He said to Winton I have a most
00:08:47.39\00:08:52.23
interesting assignment and I
need your help. He then added
00:08:52.26\00:08:57.10
the following line too:
00:08:57.13\00:08:58.73
Winton, listening to his friend,
left his skis at home and came
00:09:04.31\00:09:07.84
to Prague. Yes, today Prague
is a thriving and growing city,
00:09:07.88\00:09:13.42
a great place to live and work
and visit. But in December 1938
00:09:13.45\00:09:19.29
things were very different
here, very different. Just a few
00:09:19.32\00:09:24.39
months earlier there was
the ill-fated Munich agreement
00:09:24.43\00:09:27.86
between Germany and the West.
This left Nazi Germany free to
00:09:27.90\00:09:33.20
take over a large part of
western Czechoslovakia. Winton
00:09:33.23\00:09:37.61
and others were convinced
that this though was only the
00:09:37.64\00:09:42.21
beginning. They feared what
was to become reality, a war in
00:09:42.24\00:09:47.02
Europe with the Nazis
taking over the whole country.
00:09:47.05\00:09:50.19
Meanwhile news had already
reached around the world about
00:09:50.22\00:09:54.82
the infamous Kristallnacht,
German for the night of broken
00:09:54.86\00:10:00.50
glass. It was a massive attack
all around Germany on Jews and
00:10:00.53\00:10:06.40
businesses and though there was
a certain amount of outrage from
00:10:06.43\00:10:10.07
the world nothing happened. Many
argued that the lack of action
00:10:10.11\00:10:14.61
against Germany for its attack
on Jews convinced Hitler that
00:10:14.64\00:10:19.08
he could indeed exterminate them
all. No question. When Winton
00:10:19.11\00:10:24.32
got to Prague he was convinced
that war was coming and his
00:10:24.35\00:10:29.69
friend had asked him to come in
order to help work with refugees
00:10:29.72\00:10:33.06
who were suffering in refugee
camps in the country. These were
00:10:33.09\00:10:37.60
people who had fled the Nazis in
the west. And yes, many of them
00:10:37.63\00:10:42.40
were Jews. Jews who would face
extermination if not given help.
00:10:42.44\00:10:47.98
Here is Nicolas
in his own words:
00:10:48.01\00:10:51.58
This indeed was a situation that
set Nicolas Winton on a course
00:11:38.49\00:11:43.83
that made him a hero to so many.
He decided that he had to try
00:11:43.87\00:11:49.40
and do something to save at
least these children from what
00:11:49.44\00:11:53.58
would be certain death. It was
here in Wenceslaus Square in the
00:11:53.61\00:11:59.15
heart of Prague that Winton
began his work. He set up a
00:11:59.18\00:12:03.59
small office in this hotel. The
hotel is today called the Grand
00:12:03.62\00:12:08.36
Hotel Europa. The office
was actually only a dining room
00:12:08.39\00:12:13.50
table in his room. Yet
many anxious parents came here
00:12:13.53\00:12:17.33
worried about the fate of their
children, hoping that this man
00:12:17.37\00:12:21.10
could save, if not their whole
family, then at least their
00:12:21.14\00:12:27.18
children. At one point,
hearing about a woman who was
00:12:27.21\00:12:30.28
interested in taking Jewish
children to Sweden, he and a
00:12:30.31\00:12:34.72
female colleague met her
for lunch in a restaurant. When
00:12:34.75\00:12:38.85
Nicolas began to tell her about
his plans his colleague gave him
00:12:38.89\00:12:43.39
a swift kick under the table.
Why? She suspected, and it
00:12:43.43\00:12:49.03
turned out correctly, that the
woman was a spy working for the
00:12:49.06\00:12:53.37
Germans. But then Nicolas
Winton ran into another problem.
00:12:53.40\00:12:59.14
Remember he was supposed
to be on a two week holiday in
00:12:59.17\00:13:04.28
Switzerland. When the two weeks
were close to running out, he
00:13:04.31\00:13:08.58
wrote to his boss asking for
another week to set things up
00:13:08.62\00:13:10.95
as best he could while still in
Prague. His boss told him no. He
00:13:10.99\00:13:15.66
was needed back at the office.
Well Winton took the week
00:13:15.69\00:13:20.30
anyway, not sure what would
happen when he returned home.
00:13:20.33\00:13:24.90
Before leaving after the extra
week in Prague he managed to
00:13:24.93\00:13:30.21
get 20 children ages three
to 11 years old on a flight to
00:13:30.24\00:13:35.71
England. This was the first of
the transports to England. One
00:13:35.74\00:13:39.78
of the most well-known pictures
of Nicolas, Winton was when
00:13:39.81\00:13:43.08
Winton at the airport in Prague
was holding a small boy Hansi
00:13:43.12\00:13:49.66
Begh about to be flown to safety
Winton came back to England.
00:13:49.69\00:13:54.76
Fortunately, he didn't get fired
and resumed his job back at the
00:13:54.80\00:13:59.53
stock exchange. But while maybe
working there by day in his
00:13:59.57\00:14:04.24
spare time he worked tirelessly
to get children transported out
00:14:04.27\00:14:08.74
of Czechoslovakia. He had to
find families that would take
00:14:08.78\00:14:14.08
the children and 50 pounds for
each child had to be paid to the
00:14:14.12\00:14:17.32
government, the equivalent
of about 2500 pounds today. He
00:14:17.35\00:14:23.83
quickly created his own
organization called The British
00:14:23.86\00:14:27.96
Committee for Refugees
from Czechoslovakia, Children's
00:14:28.00\00:14:32.33
Section. The group consisted
of himself, his mother, his
00:14:32.37\00:14:37.57
secretary and a few volunteers.
He worked nonstop seeking to
00:14:37.61\00:14:42.34
raise money and find homes for
each child. He knew that once
00:14:42.38\00:14:47.12
the war started it would be next
to impossible to get them out.
00:14:47.15\00:14:51.72
In some ways perhaps his biggest
obstacle was with the British
00:14:51.75\00:14:56.32
bureaucracy and all the red tape
and required documents. One time
00:14:56.36\00:15:01.06
he went to the home office and
urged them to hurry up with the
00:15:01.10\00:15:04.97
entry visas. One chap chided
him saying What's the rush old
00:15:05.00\00:15:10.01
boy? Nothing will happen in
Europe. Well the war started
00:15:10.04\00:15:14.31
just a few months later.
Frustrated and committing a
00:15:14.34\00:15:19.35
crime that could have gotten
him a lengthy jail term Nicolas
00:15:19.38\00:15:24.79
Winton simply forged the
documents needed to get those
00:15:24.82\00:15:27.59
children out. And so from
his start when he first got to
00:15:27.62\00:15:32.93
Prague in late 1938 until August
1939 Nicolas Winton managed to
00:15:32.96\00:15:38.77
get 669 children out of
Czechoslovakia and into England.
00:15:38.80\00:15:44.21
Most, if not all, would have
ended up in a concentration camp
00:15:44.24\00:15:48.84
and been murdered otherwise.
Many left on trains from the
00:15:48.88\00:15:53.95
main train station in Prague,
the same station that would
00:15:53.98\00:15:58.15
later be used to transport other
Jews to the gas chambers. By
00:15:58.19\00:16:03.73
train the children reached the
English channel. Then by boat
00:16:03.76\00:16:07.90
they got to England where by
another train they rode to the
00:16:07.93\00:16:11.73
Liverpool Street Station. There
they met their new parents and
00:16:11.77\00:16:16.30
began a new life. One of the
most heartbreaking parts of the
00:16:16.34\00:16:21.81
story began on September the 1st
1939. It was the day that the
00:16:21.84\00:16:26.82
biggest transport of children
was to take place. Here 250
00:16:26.85\00:16:33.05
children waited for the train to
take them to England. But that
00:16:33.09\00:16:36.73
day Hitler invaded Poland. World
War II started and the borders
00:16:36.76\00:16:42.10
were all closed. The train left
the station that day but with
00:16:42.13\00:16:46.70
none of the children on board.
00:16:46.74\00:16:50.27
Every child on that train
perished. They were among the
00:17:13.60\00:17:18.50
more than 15,000 Czech children
who were murdered in Nazi
00:17:18.53\00:17:22.44
concentration camps, mainly
Auschwitz and Treblinka. And
00:17:22.47\00:17:32.08
well, that was that. Nicolas
Winton eventually got married
00:17:32.11\00:17:35.58
moved the town of
Maidenhead near London and
00:17:35.62\00:17:38.82
raised his family. His
whole rescue effort just kind of
00:17:38.85\00:17:43.63
vanished from memory. His wife,
who he had married just a few
00:17:43.66\00:17:48.10
years after these events didn't
even know about what he had done
00:17:48.13\00:17:54.44
That is until almost 45 years
later. In 1988, she found in the
00:17:54.47\00:18:00.91
attic of their house a scrap
book. In it were the names of
00:18:00.94\00:18:04.08
many of the children he
had saved, the names of their
00:18:04.11\00:18:07.48
parents and the names and
addresses of the people who took
00:18:07.52\00:18:11.42
them in. She showed the book
to the book to the wife of media
00:18:11.45\00:18:14.62
mogul Robert Maxwell. Later that
year in 1988 during an episode
00:18:14.66\00:18:20.16
of the BBC program That's Life,
the story was broadcast. Then
00:18:20.20\00:18:26.23
with Nicolas Winton in the
audience the host of the program
00:18:26.27\00:18:29.77
Esther Ransom asked if anyone
in the audience owed their life
00:18:29.80\00:18:35.74
to Nicolas Winton. If so, she
said, please stand. Dozens of
00:18:35.78\00:18:40.35
people rose to their feet and
applauded. His story soon became
00:18:40.38\00:18:45.25
international news. Over the
years Nicolas Winton received
00:18:45.29\00:18:50.93
numerous awards by both the
British and Czech governments.
00:18:50.96\00:18:54.93
He was even knighted by Queen
Elizabeth in 2003 for his heroic
00:18:54.96\00:19:01.80
work. Here is the Central Prague
railway station is this memorial
00:19:01.84\00:19:06.84
established in 2009. It
says it all. It shows Winton
00:19:06.88\00:19:13.82
compassionately caring for two
young children as they prepared
00:19:13.85\00:19:16.92
to leave their heartbroken
families and catch the train to
00:19:16.95\00:19:21.66
England. Now let's think for a
moment about what Nicolas Winton
00:19:21.69\00:19:25.66
did. Yes, it was wonderful
wasn't it? He gave a lot of
00:19:25.69\00:19:29.86
himself to help others who
couldn't help themselves. That
00:19:29.90\00:19:34.20
was very commendable. We can all
agree on that. But let me ask
00:19:34.24\00:19:38.67
you this simple question.
Wouldn't any one of us have done
00:19:38.71\00:19:44.81
the same thing or something
similar if put in the same
00:19:44.85\00:19:47.62
situation? That is if you had
the chance to rescue people from
00:19:47.65\00:19:52.05
something as terrible as this
wouldn't most of us want to do
00:19:52.09\00:19:55.79
it if we could? Of course. But
why? Well let me explain what
00:19:55.82\00:20:05.57
I'm getting at. You know,
we live today in what is being
00:20:05.60\00:20:09.80
deemed the postmodern era. It's
the idea that moral values are
00:20:09.84\00:20:15.44
relative, subjective. Indeed,
there have been a lot of very
00:20:15.48\00:20:21.08
smart people, intelligent
philosophers and the like who've
00:20:21.12\00:20:25.82
made this claim. For them
morality is kind of like music.
00:20:25.85\00:20:31.66
It's a purely human creation.
Jazz, rock, classical it doesn't
00:20:31.69\00:20:37.73
matter. We as humans, we alone
create it. But others think that
00:20:37.77\00:20:43.74
no this can't be right. Morality
is instead like sunshine. It's
00:20:43.77\00:20:50.68
something that comes down upon
us from above. So morality is
00:20:50.71\00:20:56.32
either like music or like
sunshine. Which is right? Now
00:20:56.35\00:21:03.39
let's go back to World War II
and let's imagine, just imagine,
00:21:03.43\00:21:06.90
that the Germans had in fact
won the war. Imagine that they
00:21:06.93\00:21:12.27
succeeded in defeating not only
the Russians, the British and
00:21:12.30\00:21:16.40
the Americans but eventually
everyone else as well and the
00:21:16.44\00:21:22.41
Nazis reigned as the ruler
of the entire world. And suppose
00:21:22.44\00:21:27.05
that under the genius propaganda
of Nazi minister Joseph Goebbels
00:21:27.08\00:21:32.25
the Nazis were able to persuade
the whole world that anyone with
00:21:32.29\00:21:37.79
one Jewish grandparent was
indeed worthy of death. That is
00:21:37.83\00:21:43.03
it was a moral duty to make
sure that these Jews, even the
00:21:43.06\00:21:48.37
children, were killed. And again
everyone believe that yes it
00:21:48.40\00:21:53.17
was their moral duty to kill
any Jew, any age, anywhere they
00:21:53.21\00:21:58.78
found one. Would it not be the
right thing, the moral thing, to
00:21:58.81\00:22:04.82
do? Well, how could it not be?
I mean, if morality were, as we
00:22:04.85\00:22:11.06
said, like music, purely a human
creation and all human beings
00:22:11.09\00:22:16.03
believed that the murder of the
Jews was the moral thing to do
00:22:16.06\00:22:19.67
then, well, how could it not
be the moral thing to do? Now my
00:22:19.70\00:22:25.61
guess is that the vast
majority of people would not be
00:22:25.64\00:22:29.14
comfortable with this conclusion
But I humbly ask why not? If
00:22:29.18\00:22:35.48
morality was purely a human
creation, purely like music,
00:22:35.52\00:22:39.45
then how could whatever
everyone says is moral not be
00:22:39.49\00:22:44.29
moral? Well like many people
I think that the reason we're
00:22:44.33\00:22:49.43
uncomfortable with that
conclusion is that morality is
00:22:49.46\00:22:53.47
not like music either. No, it's
more like the sunshine. That is,
00:22:53.50\00:22:58.57
there are some moral truths,
some moral principles that
00:22:58.61\00:23:03.45
transcend human ideas, that are
greater than our own views and
00:23:03.48\00:23:08.42
opinions. And among those
principles is that you don't
00:23:08.45\00:23:12.95
kill men, women and children,
people simply because of their
00:23:12.99\00:23:17.19
race or religion. Isn't that
right? In fact some people use
00:23:17.23\00:23:21.90
this as an argument for the
existence of God. If there are
00:23:21.93\00:23:26.74
certain moral realities, certain
moral truths, that transcend
00:23:26.77\00:23:30.71
humanity that come to us from
above, where else could they
00:23:30.74\00:23:35.58
come from but God? It's
a kind of higher morality.
00:23:35.61\00:23:40.42
This is called
00:23:40.45\00:23:41.78
even the moral argument for the
existence of God. In the Bible,
00:23:41.82\00:23:47.66
there is what many believe to
be a written transcript of this
00:23:47.69\00:23:51.76
higher morality. It's called the
10 commandments and I believe
00:23:51.79\00:23:58.17
that if people were to really
read and study them they would
00:23:58.20\00:24:02.20
find an incredibly powerful and
relevant tool for making life
00:24:02.24\00:24:06.68
so much better now. If people
simply followed two of the
00:24:06.71\00:24:10.58
commandments alone against theft
and against murder think about
00:24:10.61\00:24:15.45
how much better our world would
be right now. And add the other
00:24:15.48\00:24:20.66
eight commandments and you've
got the very best guide on how
00:24:20.69\00:24:23.12
to live and be truly happy.
You know life is kind of like a
00:24:23.16\00:24:28.90
journey isn't it? And along
the way we have choices to make.
00:24:28.93\00:24:33.60
And sometimes it's not always
easy to know what choices to
00:24:33.64\00:24:37.64
make either, is it? But I
like the story of Nicolas Winton
00:24:37.67\00:24:42.38
because he was a man who when
faced with a choice chose to do
00:24:42.41\00:24:47.62
what was right simply because
it was right. And I believe that
00:24:47.65\00:24:53.76
the rightness of his act
was indeed rooted in a higher
00:24:53.79\00:24:57.69
morality, a morality that came
from above like the sunshine, in
00:24:57.73\00:25:02.53
fact higher than the sunshine.
This is a morality that comes
00:25:02.56\00:25:07.57
from God, the God who revealed
himself in the person of Jesus
00:25:07.60\00:25:13.58
Christ, the God who is
willing to accept you right now
00:25:13.61\00:25:16.48
even if per
00:25:16.51\00:25:18.01
chance you've not always made
the right decision, if indeed
00:25:18.05\00:25:22.28
there's really nothing heroic
about you at all. So if you'd
00:25:22.32\00:25:26.86
like to experience God's
acceptance and his unconditional
00:25:26.89\00:25:31.26
love why not ask for
it right now as we pray?
00:25:31.29\00:25:34.90
Dear Heavenly Father, we live in
a tough world. There's lots of
00:25:34.93\00:25:41.70
evil around us and it's not
always easy to know how to react
00:25:41.74\00:25:45.87
to it or how to even avoid
partaking of it ourselves. Help
00:25:45.91\00:25:50.48
us to know what is right
and what is true and even more
00:25:50.51\00:25:54.78
importantly help to know how
to do what is right and what is
00:25:54.82\00:25:59.89
true. May we always look up to
you and your word for guidance.
00:25:59.92\00:26:05.56
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
00:26:05.59\00:26:09.33
Making decisions can be
difficult. It's not always easy
00:26:09.36\00:26:14.40
to know right from wrong and
sometimes we wish we could get a
00:26:14.44\00:26:19.21

Now I saw a new heaven and a new
earth. And God will wipe away
00:27:49.26\00:27:54.30
every tear from their eyes.
There shall be no more death nor
00:27:54.34\00:27:57.57
sorrow nor crying. There shall
be no more pain. For the former
00:27:57.61\00:28:02.04
things have passed away.
