Altitude with Attitude (Part 3) PASSION

What is this word to a young adult?

PASSION-can be defined as an object of desire or deep interest, many people today only think of a sexual desire

What is this passion to a person personally?  As human we all have a natural drive to be passionate about something,someone to the point the it can consume all we are.  Sometimes it is being passionate about becoming the lawyer or doctor, or just getting good grades.  

We are passionate about people and what they are doing, such as the Royal Wedding, who losing the most weight on a television show, who falling in love, the cure for cancer, AIDS, and such. These are all these we are passionate about.

If you look for the word passion in the Webster dictionary online it come up with a definition of passion all of should know. This definition is the most important and should be what we look at to know what passion is.

Definition of PASSION

1
often capitalizeda : the sufferings of Christ between the night of the Last Supper and his death
The Suffering of Christ was for the sins of the world. Jesus shows so much passion for people that did not want it or deserve it. Yet to this day this is the passion that we cannot live without. We are dead without it.  I wonder if Webster thought of that when he made it the first definition for PASSION.  I a poor miserable sinner thank-you for the Passion you show on that cross so long ago.
