He's the Hero

There's a story taking place. It's a tale of epic proportions. An adventure with cosmic connotations. This is a life-altering saga with an intense sense of urgency. And you've been invited to join the cast of this chronicle. Hand-picked. Summoned by the Author. Plugged into the plot. Your invitation was planned before you were born. The role was specifically created with you in mind. You're here to be a testimony of God's love that tells his story to the world. That's why God chose you!

But let's set the record straight. You're a member of the cast. Your performance is important. But this narrative can't be about you. The real star of our story is Jesus Christ. He's the hero. God sent Jesus to rescue the Earth and to restore the world. He came to deliver all people from a life of slavery, oppression, suffering, and death. This is not a fairytale. It's a nonfiction-fight-for-freedom. And it's also a love story. God gave his Son. And Jesus gave everything in one heroic act on the cross to give you freedom.

By accepting God's love and your role, you also commit to telling others about the world's Rescuer, Jesus, and what he has done in your life. That's your story. You've been invited to be a light in this drama. Someday the final curtain will close, but right now you've been enlisted.
