What about superheroes?
My favorites are Spiderman, Batman, and the X-Men.
Do we try to model our lives after our heroes? If so, who are our heroes? Do they really deserve that title?
What about biblical heroes - the men and women of God who gave their lives up to His service, the ones we should be modelling our lives after? Do we learn from their stories? Do we look up to them?
Jesus is the biggest hero we have. He is our savior. He gave His life so that we could keep ours - eternally.
This song is one of my favorites. My favorite lines are "Show me where my heroes lived the life I'm longing for," and "Help me have the courage to be more than what I am." Sure, some of them lived hard lives. Sure, some of them were persecuted. But some of the biblical heroes lived in God's presence. Got to experience it daily. Some actually walked where Jesus walked.
Who are your heroes?
