Hacksaw Ridge: One More Lord (Matthew 5:9)

Desmond Doss in Hacksaw Ridge refused to carry a weapon into World War II combat. His prayer through the night on Hacksaw Ridge was simply Help me get one more. He rescued 75 wounded men while under fire, unarmed, driven only by conscience and prayer. Jesus said Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Doss shows that nonviolence is not passivity but a different kind of courage. He did not kill a single enemy; he saved dozens of friends. His one more prayer is the intercession of one who has decided that taking life is not how he will serve - but saving life, at any cost, is.
