Schindlers List: Counting Others More Significant (Philippians 2:3-4)
In Schindler's List, Oskar Schindler starts as a war profiteer who wants Jewish workers because they're cheap. Somewhere along the way, their lives become more important than his profit. He spends his entire fortune buying their survival. "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." Schindler's transformation is Philippians 2 in action: from exploiter to emptier, from profiteer to impoverished savior. He ends the war with nothing but a list of names. In the kingdom's economy, that list was worth more than all his factories.
