My Hero (Philippians 2 v 5 - 11 )

There is a modern song which reads,'The world is searching for a hero', have you got someone who is your hero?There are people I admire who have shown great courage,Martin Luther,Martin Luther. King,Jr,  David Livingstone, Eric Liddell,Daniel,Jeremiah ,Paul, Nelson,Freddy Orr,there are so very many people. The last one on my list,Freddy Orr,you may never have heard of ,he was a Belfast man who was a Christian,he had a wife called Ina,both were very gifted people ,Freddy was a preacher,his wife was a lovely singer. They both felt called to be missionaries,to Brazil, to the State of Acre,to work in  the interior,in the jungle  .On their trip to their destination ,Ina died,Freddy also became unwell,and was told by a doctor, if he didn't go home he would die.Well he didn't go home,he stayed and did a wonderful work for God ,until the Lord took him home. I have only one hero his name is Jesus,consider the sacrifices he made,from being equal with God ,he stepped into this sinful,making himself nothing,he became a servant,endured so much,the attacks of the devil,the hatred from  man, accused with being demon possessed,and other things. His enemies had him arrested on trumped up charges,they beat him and flogged him,and then crucified him.Why did he do all that?, because of love,for you and I ,we needed a saviour ,to save us from our sins ,Jesus was that Saviour, the only saviour there is,that is why he is my hero.
