I wondered to myself who is a hero? What qualifies one as a hero?
So, I went to do a Google search on the meaning of the word, Hero.
From my findings, I have selected one definition of the word Hero, that resonates with me.
Who is a hero in Christianity?
The Bible defines a hero as a man who gives his life for that of another: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Jesus made an infinite sacrifice. His life is of infinite value, and he gave it for the sins of all mankind. He left His home in Glory and came down to earth to show human beings the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Why is Jesus a hero?
(1 Peter 3.18 NLT) says, “Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you and me safely home to God.” Jesus did what our own good works could never do — He made a way for us to get back to God.
Jesus Our Divine Hero
Jesus is not just a hero but our Divine Hero. Why do I call Him our Divine Hero? Because His character was pure, He was Selfless and Sinless. Our Lord Jesus Christ also proved His Divine Character through His immeasurable Love, an unconditional Love unique in history. He willingly offered Himself as a sacrifice for all sin and evil, and He gave the free gift of everlasting life to every person who would accept it.
The Lion of the tribe of Judah Triumphed
Furthermore, the bible tells us that by dying on the Cross, Our Lord Jesus Christ, ‘The Lion of the tribe of Judah, The Root of David, Triumphed. In the book of Revelation 5:5, the bible says …“Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne,…’
Why did Jesus do all of these for you and me?
Hearing all that Jesus has done, anyone would wonder, “Why?” Why did Jesus do all of this for you and me? one word: LOVE. (John 3.16 ESV) says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” You could scratch out the word “world” and put your name in its place.
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, on a rescue mission from Heaven just for you and me! That’s incredible Love. That’s an incredible Divine Hero.
Offer Thanks To God
Let us offer our deepest gratitude to God Almighty for offering His only begotten Son Our Lord Jesus as the ultimate Sacrifice and Debt settlement for the sins of All humanity.
Let us also offer our deepest gratitude to Our Lord Jesus Christ for accepting to be the ultimate Sacrifice that saves all souls that believe from the bondage of sin and eternal damnation.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ’s sacrifice as the Sacrificial Lamb that was slain on The Cross of Calvary, Christ Jesus has given humanity the opportunity to be reconciled with God the Father, our Creator, and the privilege of an eternal blissful life in Heaven.
I invite you today, to accept Our Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Savior to benefit from His unconditional and unmatchable Love and Redemption.
Praise Be To God Almighty, Praise Be To Our Lord Jesus Christ, Praise Be To The Holy Spirit.
