Incredible Acts of Heroism

I’ve been watching re-enactments on Netflix of the heroics of “Medal of Honor” winners. They are very emotional and very inspiring. One of the commentators said this,

“Once you cross the line that you are not going to survive anyway, then you are enabled to achieve incredible acts of heroism.”

I’ve heard that sentiment before, they quit fighting for themselves and were just fighting to help their fellow soldiers survive. True sacrificial living on behalf of others.

Christian soldiers have a completely different mindset… I cannot be killed therefore I’m totally unafraid of what might happen to me (on earth) and am therefore completely free to testify about the Lord Jesus Christ to anyone who will listen.

In fact, that was exactly the mindset of the early Christian Martyrs. Today you hear of Christians going into places like North Korea, Iran, China, etc. and you wonder… have they lost their minds? No they haven’t, the bravest soldiers go where they are needed the most and understand that their “Medal of Honor” awaits them in Heaven.
