superman

Superman, Batman, Spiderman and other superhero's have dominated our cinema screens over the  years. Superman has always been my favourite hero, with his amazing ability to fly and pure intellectual ability. This world loves a good action film; with scenes of good versus evil, the good guy winning his dream girl and using his super powers to save the day. Most young boys wish that they were just like a superhero, having the ability to fly, or swing from building to building or being able to defeat your greatest enemy. I always wanted to be superman, he seeming lived a great life, having a great day job, wonderful girlfriend, but also being a hero whose identity was a mystery.
As a child I aspired to be a superhero, I wanted to be great and I wanted to save the world from evil. I have found the real superhero. I have realised that there has always been a superhero stronger than batman, more powerful than Spiderman and more intellectual than superman, His name is Jesus.
Jesus has always existed and always will. He did some cool stuff in His time on earth, from walking on water and  turning water into wine to curing people of diseases and raising them from the dead. This man is the one and only true superhero. The Bible is filled with many stories about Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Jesus had the greatest victory any superhero could wish for, and that was victory over the worlds greatest enemy, Satan. When He defeated Satan, Jesus reclaimed the world. He died so that the relationship between man and God could be restored. Faith in Jesus Christ alone can bring you salvation. We all have our problems in life, our weaknesses, but in Christ is perfect and in his death and resurrection he showed perfect love for us. When we have salvation through faith in Christ we don't need superman to rescue us. We don't need to look to save the day ourselves. Jesus died on the Cross so we don't have to try and defeat the enemy, this is exactly what Jesus did.
