Heroism in Perspective
You
might have heard about the HS football star that disarmed a gun-wielding girl on a school bus just a few days ago.
People will very easily link this to the story of Jesus, seeing how someone put themselves in harm’s way in order to ‘save’ us. However, I would like to remind us all, that this story doesn’t come close to what Jesus did.
What Jesus did would be tantamount to climbing on the bus. And then in saving the 22 people on board, he would be shot. And die.
The football player is heroic, no doubt. But let’s not forget the magnitude of Jesus’ heroism and sacrifice for you.
