In Celebration of Heroes
By Greg Laurie
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
—John 15:13
What is a hero? We hear the word a lot, but do we really know what it means?
If someone is adept at sports or plays an electric guitar extremely well, we might refer to that person as a hero. There is even a sandwich called the hero. But what is a hero?
A hero is someone who does something selfless and sacrificial, someone who puts the needs of others above themselves. I think we have a lot of celebrities in our culture, but very few heroes. We need more heroes.
