WHO WAS THE TINANAMEN TANK MAN ??

It's been thirty years.  We still don't know the identity of the lone man who stood in front of the foreboding Chinese tanks.  He boldly confronted a convoy of tanks barreling down a Beijing avenue.

Regarding that day one activist said: "It was like a war against the people.  There was a lot of blood.  I looked at the tanks and I saw they crushed some people.  Looking on the road, there were human bodies, just like very thin human bodies."

As the tanks left the square, one lone man .... with shopping bags in his hands, stood blocking tanks.  He still remains today as an unknown man.  A man of courage.  A man defying murder in the streets.  Just one man.  As much as China would like to erase the memory of that photo from society - it remains.  He is a symbol of the pro-democracy protest.

Did you know that in California's largest Chinese American community, there is a 62 year old sculptor named Chen Weiming is building a tribute to "Tank Man."  The lone man who stared down the line of Chinese tanks.   

While anti-everything rises it's head in our nation of America, we, too, must see courage in action.  Courage is having the mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.  THAT is courage.  

THAT kind of courage is what it will take to take a stand as Americans and as Christians in our country!  

While we  do not know the name of the "Tank Man"  you can bet your sweet biffy that there are records in Heaven noting our courage or lack thereof.  Will we take a stand for righteousness, or not?  Will we stand in front of a line of Abortion Tanks, Anti-God movements, Indoctrination movements aimed toward our children ...  will we proclaim (while our hands hold signs of everyday living) with courage that the liberty we once knew is something to fight for?

General George Patton said, "Courage is fear holding on a minute longer."  

Christians, you are not alone in this battle.  Keep holding on.  Stay steadfast.  Hold on, child of God, hold on !  

Jesus Christ was One Lone Man who stood in the face of Satan and with His blood on the cross, defeated death, sin, hell, and the grave. 

He was COURAGE.  
He was RIGHTEOUSNESS.  
He was DIVINE.

He IS our hope.  He IS our Savior.  He IS our soon coming King.

I admire the "Tank Man".  His image is real today as we, too, stand against evil.  The "Tank Man" is an inspiration to us all.  Even if we don't know his name.

Jesus Christ is our ultimate inspiration.  Because He died for me, I choose to stand.  

I do know His Name.
