"Seven Pounds"

Perhaps you've seen it.  Will Smith portrays a guy who goes through a process of qualifying people to whom he then gives part of himself.  Interesting concept.  

Sound vaguely familiar?

Qualifying.  A first it sounds okay.  I mean, after all, shouldn't someone earn the right to a second chance at life?

Hummmmm......

Conditions. Standards.  Leads to judgment.

Jesus also went through a process of "qualifying people" to whom He then gives, not just a part, but ALL of Himself."

 Another interesting concept.  In the end He deems that NO ONE is worthy.   That's okay.
Problem solved: He GAVE HIS LIFE SO THAT EACH OF US CAN BENEFIT FROM HIS DEATH.

Unconditional.  Free.  Costly.  Leads to Life.

Response?
