Jesus' Courage

The secular song "What the World Needs Now Is Love" by Burt Bacharach reminds us that love is scarce. Also in scarce supply is one key ingredient of God’s love which is called courage, which was demonstrated so vividly in the life and ministry of Jesus. Jesus says, “I am the Way the Truth and the Life.”  John 14:6a

Jesus’ courage stood apart from societal norms, laws, and political pressures; it was unwavering and grounded in truth rather than shifting circumstances or fears. His courage transcends time, offering a model of conviction and strength for anyone who trusts Him.

Jesus’ courage was rooted in truth, not shaped by culture, consensus, or legal systems. Neither suffering nor death could diminish it, and it was unaffected by politics, public opinion, or social pressures.

Nor did His courage cow tow to the what ifs, or the plethora of excuses and reasons which may appear justifiable in the face of indecision and applied apathy.

 Deontological in purpose and practice, His courage transcends temporary circumstances and is grounded in eternal principles. Those who trust in Him are offered this same courage through His power—an example greatly needed in today's world.
