Most people would agree in saying that we live in a place of opportunity. This country like many others had some real pioneers, people that this country was built off of. Pioneers that really showed what it was to be the first to pave a way for a prosperous future. It took a different mentality. It took thinking outside the box. And it took a lot of effort.... "blood, sweat and tears" like many would say. So much so that till this day many look up to this country's pioneers. They're revered to the point they're all over our history books and taught in our schools till this very day.

Today I want to point out another Pioneer. A pioneer who came to existence with a specific purpose, amongst many, to show this world how to do things extremely different. He was so different in His ways that many called Him radical, others called him a stranger and some called him evil.

As human beings, we tend to discard and "write off" the things we don't understand as it were useless to us. We miss out on what may be great for us because it's anything other than what "we're used to".

You want to talk about blood, sweat and tears; this Man really knew the meaning of the words. To Him these words were a reality as He lived them out. And if you haven't guessed it by now... the person I'm referring to is none other than Jesus. Today, take a moment and recognize what Jesus has done for you. If He did nothing else in your life He's done more than enough. Revere the true Pioneer and let Him be your true role model. Follow Him and He and only He will show you the truth, the way and the light.

"fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:2
