Christian Janitor Dies to Save Muslim Students

http://i.cnn.net/cnn/interactive/2009/11/world/gallery.pakistan.hero/images/hrzgal.pakistan.hero9.jpgIn Pakistan - a recently hired, Christian, janitor, living in poverty, gave his life to stop an attack from killing Muslim children in a school.

This is an extreme case of following Jesus. Most Christians in the world today won't find themselves literally in this situation of giving up their lives for others. But every Christian who follows Jesus should be ready to make this kind of sacrifice for others (regardless who they are) without time for second thoughts.

Are you ready? Am I ready? Would we think twice? Would it matter who we're saving, or helping?
