A while back I highlighted a film called Wrestling For Jesus by Nathan Clarke.
If you haven’t seen it, you must. It’s fantastic.
Seriously, go buy it right now and watch it
. You’ll be glad you did.
Anyway, Nathan’s latest short film, co-directed with John Harrison, is called A Day With Greg Buell.
It’s a short (only about 5 minutes long), but fascinating look into the life of a man born without arms and how he reconciles his Christian faith with the difficult cards he’s been dealt in life.
I especially love Buell’s blunt and honest take on Jesus’ response to the Pharisees that a man born blind was born that way for the glory of God.
I won’t spoil it for you, but I will say this.
If, like Greg, I had been born without arms, I don’t know if I would have the sort of dedication to faith that he does. I hope I would. I want to believe I would. But if I’m being honest, I have to wonder if I wouldn’t just toss out all my theological answers to the problem of evil, curse God, and wallow in my misery.
Now, I don’t know Greg Buell personally, but if this short film is any indication, he’s a much better man than me.
But I’m curious to know what you think about Greg’s testimony and/or how you would respond if you were in his shoes.
So, check out the video below, then let me know in the comments what you think about Greg’s story.
