We celebrate St. Patrick with parades and green beer. Doesn’t seem right.
Long ago (fifth century), 16-year-old Patrick was captured by raiders and taken from his British homeland to serve as a slave in Ireland. He later escaped and made his way back to the safety of home. He returned to Ireland to share the good news of salvation in Christ. He went above and beyond Jesus’ command:
Matthew 5:44 (NLT)
But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
Be like Patrick.
