It is a cultural shock to be confronted with the death of a Leader.  Leaders are built differently from everybody else.  They have a different mind-set, they think differently.  It seems like they have been specially equipped with the ability to go forward in spite of the difficulty they would face.

We celebrate Martin Lurther King’s birthday today.  It has been a legal holiday for over two decades.  There are those who have committed themselves to unholiday this day because of racism.  He died trying to protect the rights of others.  Every time racism raises its head, he dies again. 

Christ died young.  He died for the sins of the world.  He died so that we who believe in Him will have eternal life with Him. 

There are certain people that have the tenacity to be able to change history.  They change history by what is inside of them.  And moving at God's command.
