Men on FIre


One was burning with rage.  Bitterness was the fuel to fan his flame.  Nothing could put it out.  His one desire was revenge.  The sins of others made him a single minded man on a mission of blood and death.  He saw this is the only way of redemption for the sins of others.  Hatred burned in his heart for the others who caused such pain.  There was no stopping until the wrong had been avenged.  

Revenge never was sweet.  Revenge never sees redemption.

One was burning with love.  Compassion was the fuel to His fire.  His desire was redemption for all who needed life beyond death.  It would be His blood sacrificed in death.   He burned as a sacrifice in place of those who should have been in his place.  He would take revenge on no one, instead becoming our Salvation.

Love covered our sin.  Compassion breeds Redemption.

One was burning with passion.   He was changed by the redemption of the One.  He was covered in the blood of the lamb, no longer ruled by death, because of the redemption of the One.   Humility and redemption fuels the flame of passion. Impacting any around who will catch the fire.  He is an extension of the One who covered his sins.  And now he holds the fire out for all to see. 

Love brings Passion.  Redemption sets us on fire.
