Faith-Stand

Bible in a Year : Isaiah 1–2; Galatians 5

Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. John 19:40 Desmond Doss enlisted to serve in World War II as a non-combatant. Though his religious beliefs prevented him from carrying a gun, Doss ably served as a combat medic. In one battle, he withstood intense and repeated enemy fire to pull seventy-five soldiers in his unit to safety after they had been injured. His story is told in the documentary The Conscientious Objector and dramatized in the film Hacksaw Ridge.

A roll call of the heroes of Christian faith includes such courageous characters as Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Peter, and Paul. Yet there are some unsung heroes like Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who risked their standing with the Jewish leaders to take Christ’s crucified body and give Him a decent burial (John 19:40–42). This was a bold move from a fearful, secret disciple of Jesus and another, Nicodemus, who had previously dared to visit Him only at night (vv. 38–39). Even more impressive is that they took their faith-stand before Jesus rose victorious from the grave. Why?

Perhaps the manner of Jesus’s death and the events that immediately followed (Matthew 27:50–54) crystallized the fledgling faith of these fearful followers. Maybe they learned to focus on who God is rather than what man could do to them. Whatever the inspiration, may we follow their example and exhibit courage to take risks of faith in our God—for others today.

Reflect & Pray

In what ways have you lived courageously for your faith in Jesus? What can you do differently that might show your faith to the world? 

Courage [is] not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. Nelson Mandela

Gooood mornin', Early Birds!
I'm on Day 2 of my trip to East Texas.
Believe it or not,
.... it's even hotter here than at home. Ugh!
Maybe it'll be cooler at the lake.
One can hope anyhow.
Hope all y'all have a wonderful day!
(((hugs)))

Is it too late to suggest either “Sitting by the Dock of the Bay”, or “Standing on a Corner in Winslow Arizona”?
