Adventist Review Online . Now his story is about to explode onto movie screens all over the world, and the international media are hailing the movie as a potential Oscar winner. As a result of his bravery, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the United States’ highest military honor. The movie is directed by Hollywood heavyweight Mel Gibson, who having fallen foul of Hollywood and the media on numerous occasions, may finally have found redemption, according to critics. David Rooney of the Hollywood Reporter has called the film a “forceful comeback,” while London’s Telegraph newspaper gave the movie a top four- star rating. Hacksaw Ridge received a 1. Venice Film Festival. A Seventh- day Adventist war hero. And more important, people will be talking about Desmond Doss’ faith, his beliefs, and the remarkable God who enabled Doss to carry himself with such grace, commitment, and bravery. An Unprecedented Opportunity. Hacksaw Ridge” was not made by Seventh- day Adventists. Nor was it made for Seventh- day Adventists. But “Hacksaw Ridge” presents Adventists with an unprecedented opportunity to speak up for Christ. Instead, the movie very carefully, respectfully, and accurately portrays Doss’ faith in God. Doss is presented neither as a fanatic nor as a member of the lunatic fringe. Corporal Doss — a private first class at the time of the Battle of Okinawa — is presented as a balanced, Sabbath- keeping, vegetarian, Bible- believing Christian who was moved by faith in God to adhere to his biblical beliefs in the face of overwhelming opposition. Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge” is an inspirational story of a Christian’s unwavering faith in God. When retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson ran for the U. S. Republican presidential nomination, influential news outlets profiled Seventh- day Adventism and Seventh- day Adventist beliefs. But Desmond Doss’ story transcends political lines, even as it transcends religious boundaries. Doss was a man of faith whose story resonates with people from varied walks of life. Using the opportunities presented by “Hacksaw Ridge” can be done without endorsing the movie itself. Your neighbors, colleagues, and friends will more than likely watch “Hacksaw Ridge” even if you do not. Hollywood is presenting Christians everywhere with a multimillion- dollar opportunity to come along behind this headline- grabbing movie and speak in favor of the God — and the faith — of Desmond Doss. People will be talking, and believers must be ready to participate in the conversation and provide answers to the inevitable questions. After lowering a soldier to safety, Doss prays, “Lord, give me one more!” Each time he lowers another soldier to safety the prayer is repeated: “Lord, give me one more!”. Desmond Doss’ prayer is the prayer that should be prayed by Christians everywhere. Help me get one more!” As the last few sands pass through the hourglass of time, precious opportunities are being presented to reach this world for Christ. While “Hacksaw Ridge” is not intended to be an evangelism tool, disciples of Christ recognize that witnessing opportunities present themselves in countless ways. Even through Hollywood blockbusters. This is faith in action.” Following the release of “Hacksaw Ridge” on Nov. U. S. Veterans Day — millions of people are going to be introduced to God and Seventh- day Adventism. It’s positive portrayal of the faith of a Seventh- day Adventist Christian believer provides an unprecedented opportunity to enter into what is likely to be a national conversation tilted toward a church that seldom commands the positive attention of the world. Ten years after his death Hollywood is telling the story of his battlefield heroism. It’s up to those of us still living to tell the story of his Savior, the power of grace and the promise of Jesus' return.
