Who is your favorite superhero?

     This question can be debated, argued and squabbled over for hours at a time. Some people favor Batman because of his suit and his awesome gadgets. Others like Iron Man because his movies are funny and he’s basically a human robot. I know for a fact that Dennis’ favorite superhero is the Hulk and Jimmy loves Mario (he did save Princess Peach). There are so many opinions as to who is the best superhero. I personally like Green Lantern because my favorite colour is green, and Thor because of his super epic hammer of destructivity named Mjolnir (pronounced Meow-meow). But in all seriousness, what is a superhero?

    Is a superhero someone that helps you with your math homework? Or is a superhero someone that helps you stand up against bullies? Is your best friend a superhero? Are your parents superheroes? Or do superheroes always have to be able to fly and have telepathy? Seriously, get real. When was the last time you saw a guy wearing a blue latex suit and red underwear stop a Boeing 747 in mid-air just as it’s about to smash into a baseball field? Never.

     The real superhero is Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to wipe away our sins so that we may have eternal life and that’s the most you can ask for. Our lives are the most precious thing to us. If you think about it, would your favorite superhero die for you? I think not. On the other hand, Jesus came down to Earth as an ordinary man. He didn't have any superpowers (although he did do some pretty amazing miracles). Jesus didn't have to prove that He was the Son of God. Jesus just wanted us to have faith and believe in Him so that He can become your superhero that meets your every need. 

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that ever one who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life."
