About this episode

Pastor Scott Irwin discusses the concept of heroism and the importance of remembering sacrifices made by heroes, particularly in relation to Memorial Day and Jesus Christ's ultimate sacrifice.

A hero is defined as someone whose actions are courageous in the face of danger and whose character is noble (even when no one is watching), making personal sacrifices and performing selfless acts of kindness to help others in need. A hero puts the needs of others before their own, even risking their life to save the lives of others. Oftentimes, although heroes deserve honor and respect, their service goes unnoticed or their sacrifice is forgotten because the world moves on and people are easily distracted from remembering what is important. This coming Monday is Memorial Day, a day to remember those brave men and women, heroes, in the American armed forces who gave their lives in service to their country. This Sunday is the Lord's Day, a day to remember and honor the Lord Jesus Christ, the ultimate hero, who bravely endured human injustice (although He lived a perfect and righteous life without breaking God's Law), suffered shame, torture and crucifixion and laid down His life in order to save the helpless and the undeserving, even those who were His enemies. And by His sacrifice, all who trust in His death and resurrection have been set free from the power of sin and death…
