We all need a hero





We all need a hero to look up to. One who can guide us and make a positive impact on our lives. These pictures are of people who have all made an impact in the world for the better. Though it may seems hard to believe in some situations, one person really can make a difference for the better.

One man I can honestly has been a true inspiration to me is not a sporting hero, he isn't a hero of war, he is a man who told us to always keep hope no matter how bad the situation looks. He spent a long time fighting against racism in South Africa and was jailed for about 25 years. His name was Nelson Mandela. If you had the chance to take revenge on a person who wronged you, would you actually take it. He didn't. He became president of South Africa and so after all the suffering people inflicted on him he had the chance to make them feel how they made them feel. Instead he chose to forgive them and said all people are equal. In doing this he also showed us about one of the biggest teachings in the bible.

As a Christian I believe that my ultimate hero is Jesus, the son of God. He came down to earth in human form to be a hero for all the people. He built the bridge between people and God so that we could have a personal relationship with God. As Christians we believe that Jesus is a true hero. He took our sins on the cross so that we could be forgiven. SHOUT IT OUT FOR JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
