Title: Stepping Up (2 of 3)
Series: Unsung Hero
Author: James Merritt
Text: Luke 2:1-5
Introduction
1. One of the things I love to do is travel. If you do enough traveling you will find out that some trips are just extremely difficult. One of the most difficult trips I've ever taken is when Teresa and I flew from here to Australia. We had to fly to Los Angeles and from Los Angeles to Tokyo and from Tokyo to Sydney. By the time we got there the good news is we were a day ahead of the day we left; the bad news is our bodies felt it. I couldn't really say it was a tough journey, because we did fly in a very nice airplane, were fed along the way, got to sleep and for the most part comfortable.
2. Now if you want to take a truly difficult trip and be adventurous let me tell you what I discovered is the most difficult, hardest trip in the world. If you are looking for a trip that is difficult, dangerous, and down-right scary I've got the trip for you. In fact, it is according to one website, the most difficult trip you could ever take and it is traversing the Sahara Desert. Only one person has ever done it. Michael Asher made the first known crossing of the Sahara Desert from west to east by camel and on foot covering a distance of 4500 miles and if you have ever seen a picture of the Sahara Desert you can just imagine how difficult it might be. Even the Bedouins know that if you get too far away from food and water, you are committing suicide.1
3. I want to tell you of another trip that a man took that wasn't merely as long, but in some ways may have been even more difficult and more painful and took even more self-sacrifice. Though you wouldn't know it, it is found in one of the most familiar stories in all the Bible. [Turn to Luke]
4. There are some stories that just never get old no matter how many times you hear them even though you know the beginning, the ending and everything in-between. It is almost like hearing it for the first t ...
