The Ultimate Gift - Movie Learning Points :)

This post came rather late, however, we hope it will be useful for all who had watched or missed the movie :) Perhaps you could read on, think and reflect about these few questions/learning points:

1) The Gift of Work
Why do you think discipline and hard work are important values in life?

Proverbs 6:6-11 says: ⁶ Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! ⁷ It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,⁸ yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. ⁹ How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? ¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- ¹¹ and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.

Do you have this gift of work?

2) The Gift of Friendship
Jesus says in John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

What kind of a friend is Jesus? And what kind of a friend are you? How would you rate yourself as a friend on a scale of 1-10?

3) The Gift of Problems
In this movie, one of the gifts Red wanted to give Jason was the gift of problems. Do you believe in the "gift of problems"?

James 1:2-4 says: ²Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. ⁴Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Is perceiving problems as good or essential sentimentality or truth?

3) The Gift of a Day
Another gift Jason received is the gift of "a day". Have you ever had a perfect day? What was it like? If not, what would it be like?

4) The Gift of a Money
You've probably heard that there are 2350 over Bible verses about money - twice as many as verses as there are about faith and prayer combined.

Why do you think the Bible emphasizes this subject so strongly? Is it possible to be very wealthy and also be focused on eternal things? What are the pros and cons of wealth or poverty?

5) The Gift of a a Dream
Red wanted Jason to have a dream. Do you have a dream? Should every human have one? Should every dream be followed? How do we discern?
