Unlikely Heroes - Ebed-Melech

Beginning with a passionate and firm exhortation for Christians to be heroes in the order of the cross, and not the order of this culture, we move into the story of one of the "unknowns" in Scripture, seemingly lost in the shuffle in the book of Jeremiah! For as great a prophet as what Jeremiah was, he himself needed an advocate who would stand on his behalf! A man that would risk everything just to come to the aid of the helpless and not compromise what was right, for what was popular! His name was Ebed-Melech, an Ethiopian eunich in the service to the king. Choosing to stand when others bow is a noble, and honorable thing, and often the defining line of what separates the boys from the men...cowards from the heroes! And this unlikely hero champions a pathway of how to stand for those who are unable to stand for themselves!
