Amazing Grace

My wife and I went to the the new movie "Amazing Grace" over the weekend. I thought that it was a great movie - not only was it well-made, but it was saturated with great principles for life. But there was one line in the movie that I just can't get out of my head. Towards the end of the movie, William Wilberforce went to see his old pastor, John Newton, for some advice. And during that exchange, Newton spoke these words:

"I am a very old man and my memory has gone. But I remember two things: that I am a great sinner and that Jesus is a great savior."

It seems to me that if we could just remember those two things as well, it would revolutionize the way that we live our lives.
