St. Patrick

St. Patrick’s Day is almost over and here I am thinking about what it means for someone to be kidnapped, made a slave, escape, and then go back to the same people who kidnapped you and show them God’s love for the rest of your life? What does it mean for this wealthy Roman in England to give up an affluent life and voluntarily live under hardship for the sake of his enemies?

This is Patrick’s story.

What kind of force is at work to bring this good out of all these challenges?

St. Patrick’s Day is a little more than green beer and corn beef and cabbage. It is about being sold out for Jesus and giving your life for the sake of others.
