Today is March 17th. Historically, today is celebrated as Saint Patrick’s Day. Many will connect with their Irish ancestry or be Irish for the day. Many will celebrate with the “wearing of the green” or drinking of the green colored beverages.
What should be noted, however, is that Patrick returned to a land that enslaved him and tried to kill him. Patrick brought them the gospel of Jesus Christ, that any who believed would be saved. Patrick began a cascade of events that led Ireland to be changed from Celtic pagans to mostly Christian. The kings and high kings of Ireland acknowledged that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.
John 3.17
“For God [the God of Creation] sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
You should do likewise.
