On Heroes and Heroism

<p>This series on Christian heroes has made me think about how the idea of heroism applies to you and me. I think that when we use the word&nbsp;<em>hero</em>, even in the Christian context, we can blur two kinds of people. The first are those who we admire as heroes because of their supreme ability: those remarkable scientists, doctors, painters, musicians and athletes who let their skills be guided and guarded by God. Great, but the problem is that most of us don’t have that sort of incredible ability.</p>
