What makes a good leader?
A good leader sacrifices himself/herself for others.
Although anybody can be one, almost nobody is.
And therein is the paradox upon which we live our lives.
I guess we are all atheists or better said we are all agnostics. Because we live our lives doubtful about His existence. Yet, we yearn for its Proof.
Well, folks, the Proof is, as always, in the pudding.
That is to say we cannot think there is no God, or Son of God, or any Foundational Universal Principle, without looking within for why we fail to see the underlying Proof of His existence.
We are all Agnostics because we are all afraid to die. [We are also afraid to die because we are all Agnostics.] Not only that, we are all reluctant to prove God’s existence by following in the footsteps of his Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
How many of us are ready to sacrifice their lives for others, i.e., family, friends, ideas bigger than themselves?
Almost none.
You see, only those who do, only those who take this leap of faith can ascertain Heaven.
Others are left wondering flying like blind bats in the depths of obscurity and nothingness, just like the Romans imagined afterlife to be.
Only the absolute redeeming value of self-sacrifice is capable to atone for past and present and even future, unearned, sins.
Only by paying the final price, can Man become one with Christ.
Anything else is besides the point.
Do you want to live? Of course. It is only natural. God wants you to live. Jesus wants you to live.
But do you want to live forever?
For if you do, you may want to change your strategy.
You can only live forever or aspire to, if you take the one chance you have at life on this lonesome rock we call Earth, and sacrifice yourself on the altar of something greater than you.
Your blood.
Your family.
Your friends.
Your ideas.
Nothing else matters.
Jesus lived and died for our Sins.
You want to be holy? You want to be remembered? You want to live on in the memory of others?
Do what He did.
For when and if you do, you shall shed your mortal coil, exit the pages of History, and assume the immortal form taught by Socinianism.
Anything else means you fail to see the meaning of Life, its finality, and purpose.
