When Jesus fed the huge crowd of 5,000 men, he made a lasting impression, one that arose perhaps not from the purest of intentions, but from hunger. The crowds searched for Jesus, and as he said, "not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled." (Jn 6:27 ). He urged them not to work for food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life: belief in the One he sent...in Jesus. In this day and age, it takes COURAGE to do that, to remain steadfast in the faith. The story of Grace Wesley told in the current film, "God's Not Dead 2" portrays this realistically and convincingly. Standing up for the faith means opposition, unpopularity, and possibly, as in the case of the 11th century Polish martyr, St. Sanislaus, death! How far are we willing to go?
