A Hero Arises

Cultures generally have heroes. They are typically mythological, made up to embody the very virtues that the culture thinks are most important and vital. They help to shape the purpose and the nature of that culture. America has its own heroes, some more abstract, some more cinematic. But the Bible has its own set, different in nearly all its ways from those of America. Today, we are introduced to one of the greatest heroes, and invited to come along his path – for his road to being a hero is ours as well.
