An Inspirational Hero

A hero can be defined as someone who inspires in his everyday life with his selfless ways. Grounded firmly in what he knows is right, a hero would begin to leave his mark at earliest ages of his life. He would have to be well equipped with the knowledge he needs to succeed at whatever he does. His knowledge and leadership would help him to be wise and strong. So, when troubles arise, he will have the will to overcome. Most importantly, his driving force or passion would be the respect that he has for the people around him. Abraham Lincoln once said, “ If you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” So, my hero would not be one to flaunt his strengths. My hero is the ultimate hero-- Jesus Christ. Jesus is the light. He has inspired and paved the way for not just me, but billions of people. It was out of his eternal love for us that he died on the cross to forgive us for our sins. Obviously, Jesus was different from what an everyday hero would be. He is all divine, all powerful, and perfect, but he showed us what it is like to be a hero. He showed us that the legacy we leave behind has the power to change lives.

  2. Emily:), I enjoyed reading your blog. My feelings are the same way about Jesus being the perfect example of a hero. He risked everything for us and was never selfless.

  3. Emily, I agree with you that Jesus is the ultimate hero. He sacraficed his own life, so that we may be forgiven for our sins and have everlasting life. Jesus set an good example on how to be selfless in our daily lives. I enjoyed reading your blog.

  5. I have to say your blog was one I was happy to read. Great job Emily!I think when people here the word hero they are misguided by artificial views on hero's. Tights and a cape do not make a hero, but Jesus is someone definately worth praise and recognition.
