In society and throughout history there have been many brave and noble men who have been willing to sacrifice all for what they believed in. I have great respect for many of these men, including (to name a few), Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, jr, Mohandas K. Gandhi, Che Guevara, Benito Juarez, Crazy Horse, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry. Innumerable women have sacrificed all for their families and for their people. I have been interested recently to learn about Harriet Tubman.
Many of these people have arguably made the world “a better place” from a human point of view. It is easy to be immersed in learning about their heroism and the incredible opposition they faced and their noble goals and achievements and to end up revering them almost as gods.
And yet, without denying the good some of them have done, what does the God of the Bible say to us to put these things into perspective?
