God and Evil

Summary

Bruce Wesley introduces the film Schindler's List as a powerful narrative about good and evil during the Holocaust, focusing on Oscar Schindler's heroic efforts to save Jewish workers from a concentration camp and the brutal Nazi commandant who ruthlessly murders prisoners. The sermon explores themes of injustice, oppression, and the extreme human capacity for cruelty, as demonstrated through the graphic depiction of the Nazi commandant's arbitrary killings. Wesley uses the film as a lens to discuss broader societal issues of racism, classism, and the systemic abuse of power by unrighteous leaders who exploit and marginalize vulnerable populations.
