I
chose to write about heroes and the qualities I feel someone would have to have
to be considered a hero, as well as the hero character in the Gospel Mark. The
first quality a hero must have is selflessness. A hero has to put others before
him or herself, in all situations. The second quality is courage. It is type of
courage that will allow you to act and do what is right/best, regardless of the
outcomes. Consistency is another quality I look for in a hero. Heroes need to
be reliable and dependable, and to be both they have to be consistent. I mean
consistent in their behavior and actions. There really aren’t a lot of
qualities in a hero, but the qualities themselves are very hard to come by. At
least containing all three of them. It takes all three to be considered a hero
in my book.
There was only one central character
in Mark, which is Jesus. And I feel like Jesus not only was a great example of
a hero, but he probably is the greatest example of a hero. Not only did he put
others before him, he also taught and showed others how to put others first.
The courage Jesus showed throughout Mark, especially when he was put to death.
He knew what was going to happen, but he knew how much others needed him. He
stayed strong and pushed through for the sake of others. Most importantly,
Jesus remained consistent through the stories. People could always count on him
being selfless and putting their needs in front, and his courage was never
changing. Not only did he show theses qualities when they were needed most;
furthermore, he showed me in even the littlest of things. Most heroes from
other stories (even stories from the Bible) always had a fall, or something
like that, that they recovered from. Jesus never did, but in his stories that
is his major difference. He was the perfect everything, that was his distinguishing
quality from the rest of the heroes.
This first pic is of Captain America, my favorite comic hero, just another example of heroism
This a funny (yet weird) depiction of Jesus the Hero
