Children of Men: When There Is No Future (Romans 8:24-25)

Source: ChurchWiseAI112 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Humanity has become infertile. No child has been born in eighteen years. Without future generations, civilization collapses into despair and brutality. Then a miracle: a pregnant woman. Theo must protect her through a world that has lost hope. Paul writes: Hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. The film asks: what holds society together when there is no tomorrow? And the answer is: nothing, without hope. Kee's baby does not solve every problem—but it restores possibility. Sometimes one sign of life is enough to keep humanity human.
