Who Do You Choose?

We go to school and learn about great men and women: the Presidents of this country, the explorers who discovered new lands, the scientific pioneers. And we’ve all seen those essay questions: “Write about someone you admire, someone you look up to”, or “Who has shaped your life and made you think about who you are as a human being?”. And we’ve seen the people chosen as our heroes: the sports figure, the rebel, the movie star.

But really, are these the people we remember? Maybe you admire the wealth of one person, the fame and adulation given to another. Maybe you’d like that, too. It would be nice to be rich and admired, flattered and envied. Life would be so easy. Life would be so smooth and good.

Ha. Did you remember that you are a Christian? Who did you choose to be Lord in your life? Who is there when the times get tough? Who really did something for you, if not the Lord Jesus Christ? Who is someone to admire and to emulate, if not our Savior?
