Recently all of India was tensed up when its Air Force officer Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was held up by the Pakistani army. Then the whole country rejoiced when he was honourably released by the Pakistan Prime Minister after a couple of days. Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman is a real hero who went out all the way in discharging his duties for the Country. In his job he was all out to destroy the enemy or to die for the country! We all salute such true heroes. In the Bible, we come across many such real heroes, heroes who lived and died for God. Heroes who sacrificed their all for the glory of God and for the good of His people. But many times, we the children of God or the citizens of the kingdom of God do not think much about such heroes and do not truly salute them!! If only we can take some time out of our “busy” (or lousy) schedules and look into the Word of God with interest, and identify the great contribution of the men and women of God in times past, we will have much to praise the Lord for having had such people and also we will be motivated to do something for the Most High God of the Universe! Let me suggest for your meditation one such great hero from the New Testament in Philippians 2:25-30. Study his life and his work for the Lord and praise God. Teach about him to your children, or share about him with your friends and family. May the Lord make you a considerate Christian.
