Christian Comment

Murray Olson - St John’s Anglican Church Who is your hero?

s a very young person, my heroes were Davy Crockett and Robin Hood. As I Ahave grown older these heroes have been replaced with grown up heroes like Sir Edmund Hillary and Pope Francis. However, one special hero is Maximilian Kolbe. He was a Polish Franciscan priest who was very critical of the German Third Reich. As a result he was sent to Auschwitz prison camp in 1941. While he was there he ministered to the other prisoners, always sharing his rations, and offered himself to be beaten in the place of others. In August 1941 a prisoner escaped from Auschwitz. The camp commandant instituted the usual reprisal: ten prisoners were to be starved to death in an underground bunker for that single escape. Kolbe offered to take the place of a family man who one of the chosen to be killed, saying “I am a Catholic priest. I wish to die for that man; I am old; he has a wife and children.” Surprisingly, the German officer accepted the exchange and Kolbe was sacrificed by an injection by a camp doctor on August 14, 1941. In his last days, by prayer and psalms, he prepared the others for death in the undergrown bunker, turning degradation into celebration. As much as I am inspired by the story of Kolbe’s courage and compassion, I have another hero who also made the ultimate sacrifice of his life, not for one person but the whole of humanity. He was sacrificed so we all can have a relationship with God, a relationship we can enjoy now, and one which lasts for all eternity. We will commemorating this on Good Friday. This hero’s name is Jesus Christ and we can gain this relationship through handing out lives over to Him in hope and trust. But, unlike Maximilian Kolbe, Jesus rose from the dead and this what we are celebrating on Easter Day. This means, in the words of that old hymn ‘I serve a Risen Saviour’: He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart So why not make Jesus your living hero and make every day an Easter day? You will not regret it!
