Escape to Victory is also the name of the 1981 football movie featuring football greats Pele and Bobby Moore alongside Hollywood stars including Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine as the team of Allied prisoners play the Nazi soldiers in a challenging game of football that engineers their escape.
Today's first reading (Acts 16:22-34) has an account of another group of prisoners - Paul and Silas... They do not have to keep their nerves about the game, but surrender their all to the Lord in prayer.
In the earthquake that ensued, the prisoners were set free from their physical chains. But the jailer had a greater freedom, having being freed from the chains of death... and more importantly having received the VICTORY of faith.
What chains am I caught in? What will it take to break free?
