Whale Wars
"You have not lived until you've found something worth dying for."
The other night I watched “Whale Wars” on Animal Planet. It was an interesting show. I saw the preview and I like whales and other sea animals so I recorded it to watch. The premise of the show is a group of animal (specifically whale) activists are patrolling Antarctica looking for whaling ships. They call themselves “modern day pirates”. They truly are that.
The show I watched was the first episode in a series. The talked with some of the crew members and one lady came to tears she’s so passionate about saving the whales. They also interviewed some of the crew members and everyone they talked to said they are willing to literally DIE for the whales. I admire their passion and commitment to the whales.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I like whales. I understand they are a very important to the balance of sea life and the ocean is important for the balance of the earth.
However, this world is temporary. As I sat watching the passion in the eyes of these “pirates” I wondered how many of us have that same passion for Christ. Our eternal life is so much more important that this life. Our eternal life is what we should be living for. Are we?
Are you brought to tears in your passion for saving human souls? Are you willing to DIE to stand up for Christ?
There are people out there willing to die for an animal. That really made me stop and think. When eternity is so much more important than this temporary life what I am doing to insure that those around me know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
