Real Life Hero

On May 7, 2019, two students got inside their school at Highlands Ranch, Colorado with guns and started shooting their school mates. But an 18 year old school boy Kendrick Castillo jumped in front of the shooter and saved his school mates, unfortunately losing his life.

On November 26, 2008, when the terrorists attacked Taj Hotel at Mumbai, India, an NSG commander Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who was at the hotel to rescue the hostages, saved his fellow commando who was hit with bullet and then chased the terrorist, finally getting killed. His last words were, “Do not come up, I will handle them”.

The first time when man sinned, the mankind was punished to eternal death. But God gave them the choice to escape from it by sacrificing animals. Seeing the sinful situation of humans, God himself came in the form of man, Jesus and dwelled among them (John 1: 14). Having compassion towards the humans, all the sins of mankind was put upon Christ Jesus and he was given the ultimate punishment. Taking up all the sins, Jesus was sent to the eternal death to save every one of us. He took the punishment and removed the sin from mankind. He became the saviour of everyone.

As we see daily Heroes who gave their life for others, always remember the saviour Jesus Christ who saved everyone who believes in him from eternal death. May you understand this great gift and let the Spirit of God help you to accept Christ as your saviour, repent your sins and accept that free salvation which is given by Christ alone.

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved” – Romans 10: 9, 10.
