For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 I once interviewed an amazing lady for my radio talk show called, Linda. Linda came from a broken home. Her father was an alcoholic and walked out on her mom when Linda was very young. Sadly, as a teenager, Linda became caught up in the same world of alcohol that her dad had endured, however she managed to pull her life together when she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Soon afterwards she entered the world of entertainment as a stunt double.
Linda was successful in her newfound career, doubling for many famous actors in some well-known television productions like the British soap opera, East Enders. She explained to me how exciting the job was. She met many amazing people and performed some breathtakingly stunts. She told me how she was once directed to fall down a cast-iron fire escape. “I only sprained my shoulder,” she told me with a lilt in her voice, “It was great fun.”
As Linda described her work to me as a stunt double, it dawned on me that I knew someone else who doubled for people. This person is a very dear friend to me. In fact, he was my very own stunt double. His name is Jesus.
