The news today from Libya is that some are laying down their lives for the hope of a better tomorrow.

History shows us this scenario is not new. Many have given their lives for others, or for their cause, or for whatever.

Shortly before He died, Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 The amazing thing was that because He loves us, He died on the Cross for us even while we were enemies of God and steeped in sin and rebellion. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Rom 5:8
(NIV)

I don't know what the future holds for Libya or Muammar Gaddafi. I trust the sacrifice is worth it.
