Hacksaw Ridge: Greater Love Has No One (John 15:13)

In Hacksaw Ridge, Desmond Doss refuses to carry a weapon but volunteers as a combat medic. On Okinawa, he single-handedly rescues 75 wounded soldiers, lowering them down a cliff under enemy fire. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. Doss did not kill anyone; he saved everyone he could. His weapon was a rope and prayer. Greater love is not always violent sacrifice; sometimes it is stubborn, unarmed presence in the killing fields. Doss laid down his safety, his sanity, his life—for friends and strangers alike.
