One man is sent to
save his nation after great evil has engulfed the land. But first, he must
battle his own fears and expectations. God sends him a helper who must also
conquer himself first. Will they succeed in their mission?
People often think
that the heroes of the Bible are “mighty men of valor” who are very nearly
perfect. But when we look more closely at them, we discover that they are very
much like us – weak, frightened, temperamental – and they, too, must face their
own issues. In humanizing the people of the Bible, we see them both as heroes
as well as real people with fears and doubts just like we have. They were ordinary
people facing extraordinary situations in which the outcomes were not at all
certain.
