...he turns off the TV after enjoying MI-3, returns the DVD to it's
case, places his thumb on the flat surface of the PS-3 and waits for the
system to respond with a beep and power off. he thinks: "I could be
some kind of Special Ops hero, the PS-3 powered off after sensing my
thumb."
"When Jesus saw the crowds..." (the people who recognized
Him as their conquering hero) it says He went up on a mountain, He
walked away from the crowd. But His disciples followed Him, and He hiked
up the mountain and sat down. Then He began to teach them, He said:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven."
This is the Hero, the conqueror, the one you normally would call strong
in spirit, The new king who will conquer the Romans, perhaps like
Alexander the great conquered. But He says something quite different:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
We're in a different kingdom, the victory is already ours, but we're not
the heroes, Jesus is our Hero, and we serve Him...
Our is not the conquering
Ours is learning humility...
That was a great Nick! Thanks for sharing. =D
