“When the villain enters, it is usually from the left. When the villain moves, it is often from right to left.”

I was listening to a discussion of film techniques. Many of these techniques began in the early theater and were later adapted to the big screen and television. I decided to put the above observation to the test. Surprisingly, it was true most of the time. Why did it work this way? Some psychologists have suggested that in western societies, that usually read from left to right, it creates a negative interference with our brain when we see something move from right to left. In fact, studies have supported this hypothesis. 

Left is not cursed and there is certainly no negative connotations implied to those who are left-handed. The important lesson is regardless of the direction, good and evil are separated. Jesus Christ reinforced this many times during His ministry on this earth. 

But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. 

Matthew 25:31-33 (NASB)

When Jesus Christ returns to earth, He will pronounce judgment upon everyone who has ever lived. The sheep, those who have believed in Him, will be placed on the right and the goats, those who have rejected Him, will be placed on the left. 

Right or left? Whichever direction evil comes from or is going, we all need to be assured of our final direction. Only by confessing and repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior will we be assured that our final resting place will be in Heaven, in the presence of God.

Love and trust in the Lord; seek His will in your life.
