My hero is my lord, Jesus Christ.
Everybodt believes in something different, from Allah to Yahweh to Buddha to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, (yes, it is really a thing), but I believe that in the end, they are all the same god going by different ways appearing differently to different people. My lord, Jesus performed many miracles, such as changing water into wine, healing lepers, raising people from the dead, and walking on water. He went great lengths to lead the people he called his sons and daughters into salvation. Even when we stray from him, or try to hide from his divine light, he's always looking for us, like in the parable he taught in which a shepherd had 100 sheep, and lost one, and left the other 99 to search for the one that had gone astray from him. My grandma is a great example of his light and love burning inside of someone. She is 70 years old, I think, and when she comes to church with us, she says that during Communion she can see people's guardian angels watching over them. She says that Communion is when God's love shines the brightest on all of us. I want to follow in her footsteps, and my mother's. and become a disciple of god, making the world a better place wherever I go. My mother is another great example of spreading God's word in today's modern world. She works tirelessly as the Faith Formation Administrator at my church, teaching the word of god to children from three to their last year of high school, and beyond. She stays up to all hours of the night, making sure her lesson plans for the next day are flawless, checking time sheets, and arranging meetings with all of the teachers. Although it is hard for my family to take weekend vacations with her working on Sundays, we love her all the more for it because she is teaching the word of the Lord our God to the next generation.
In short, Jesus is my hero because he saves people, loves us no matter what we do against him, ad lights a fire in each of our hearts with a passion that burns so bright the whole world can see. We are called to make this world happier with every step of out journey of life.
