Emphasis Preaching Journal

The movie Sarah's Key is based on the novel of the same title. The movie recounts the true story of the Vel' d'Hiy roundup of Jews in Nazi-occupied France in 1942. Kristin Thomas, an English actress who lives in France, is aware of the story. She walks past buildings that have plaques on them with the names of the children that were taken from their homes. Sarah, in the novel, is a child taken to the concentration camps during the roundup. When Thomas was asked why she wanted to play the role of the reporter Julia Jarmond who is investigating the tragedy, the mother of three replied, "I wanted to tell the story."

Paul wrote that, "We do not come to proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ." As Christians we are the people to tell the story; not only the story of Jesus but the story of injustice found across the globe.
