“Saving Private Ryan” is a movie that showed in the theaters years ago. The opening scene shows an older gentleman who is visiting the cemetery at Normandy Beach. The family was visiting there in honor of D-Day. The man searches through the graves and, finding the one that he was looking for, collapses in tears. His family rushes up to him and frantically asks what is wrong. He answers, “Did my life count for anything? Did I make a difference?” It is a very poignant moment in the movie. Everyone asks themself at some time or another if they made a difference. In our study in 2 Peter, Peter focuses on whether or not our lives will count for eternity.
