Welcome to a reflection inspired by the heartwarming movie, The Last Ride, or The Great Wish. This story, about a terminally ill young man and his loyal friends, beautifully captures life's fleeting nature, the strength of friendship, and our deeper purpose.
The Last Ride begins with Go-hwan, a young man facing the end of his life. His simple yet poignant wish to experience love drives his two friends, Kap-deok and Doo-shik, to go to great lengths to fulfill it. Their journey is both comedic and touching, reminding us of the value of selfless relationships.
The Bible provides profound insights into the themes of this story. In Ecclesiastes 12:13, we are reminded, "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind." Like Go-hwan's desire to make the most of his remaining days, the Bible teaches us to live with purpose and honor God in all we do.
John 13:34-35 echoes the importance of love and friendship. Jesus says, "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." The unwavering dedication of Kap-deok and Doo-shik reflects this divine love, showing us how human connections can mirror God's care.
James 4:14 describes life as a mist that appears briefly and then vanishes. This movie serves as a powerful reminder of life’s brevity, encouraging us to live meaningfully. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us of God's plan: "For I know the plans I have for you... plans to give you hope and a future." Even in hardship, we can trust that our lives hold eternal significance.
The story of The Last Ride mirrors the perseverance of Job in the Bible. Amid suffering, Job trusted God's wisdom and found restoration. Likewise, Go-hwan and his friends demonstrate courage and hope in the face of adversity.
As we ponder these lessons, let us not forget the ultimate message: our lives are not defined by their length but by their depth and alignment with God's purpose. By loving God and others, we fulfill the greatest commandment and experience a life that truly matters.
May we live each day with the same zeal and love depicted in The Last Ride, trusting in God's eternal plan and cherishing the relationships He has given us.
