A few years ago, I had what I thought was quite a deep conversation with a friend. He and I were chatting about heroes and all of the amazing people who have made big news in our world throughout history. We found that there was one thing in common with all the giants of the past they were all willing to die for something. They believed that the cause they were a part of was so great that they were prepared to sacrifice their comfort, families and their very lives.
Fast forward to 2015. When we look at the generation of those of us in our teens, 20’s and 30’s, it’s not easy to spot any rising Mandelas, William Wallaces or Patrice Lumumbas. It would seem, when you look at it, that most of us are preoccupied with texting, gaming and what this year’s hottest colour for summer will be. There don’t seem, generally speaking, to be many causes that those in our generation are willing to die for.
What are you willing to die for? Is there anything you believe in so strongly that you would be prepared to give everything for it? Does it even matter? I guess it’s up to each of us to decide.
Easter is on the way. The entire premise of this sacred Christian holiday is based on Christ’s love and how He was prepared to overlook mankind’s failure to the extent that He was willing to die for sin. If ever there was a cause worth dying for, this one is truly special and stands above them all. As we celebrate this unique cause, we invite you to discover a relationship with Christ and how it can change your life. Please click on the banner below and watch the video that follows.
