Posts Tagged ‘Batmobile’

When my boys were a bit younger they loved to dress up. Batman, Buzz Lightyear, Luke Skywalker, Superman, and Power Rangers!! Now, it is super athletes and musicians that they seem to gravitate toward. My oldest son watches a show that takes two different “heroes” and compares them based on the armor they have, their super powers, and sidekicks; in the end, based on the comparisons, they announce who is the SUPER superhero!!

I think Jesus can take on the whole Justice League!!!
Armor: Superheroes all have special tools or armor like, the Batmobile. This car can transform into a jet airplane, a speed boat or submarine whatever the transportation need/emergency requires. So cool. But God took nothingness and transformed it into a bunch of rocks and gases, then added some water and light, then plants and animals (don’t even get me started on the details he put into each and everyone of these) and finally man. No one but Him can even compare with the transformations seen and unseen that He performs constantly, always. Bullet Proof Capes and armor are used by superheroes on a regular basis to shield them from the evil-doers bullets. Jesus doesn’t need bullet proof anything He has eternal existence and he is willing to offer it to us! He provides us with armor of our own through the word of God. Ephesians 6:13 (New International Version) 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground…
Superpowers: X-ray Vision allows the superheroes the ability to see through walls in building or detect hidden weapons on their nemesis but Jesus trumps that, he can see all the way into a persons heart and soul…and not only that, he has the ability to change a persons heart from black to white, from empty to full!!! Super Strength is the unique ability to lift speeding trains off of tracks leading over a cliff or tie metal bars around villains to keep them in place. Jesus had real nails pounded into his hands. He bled. He hung on the cross for hours in agonizing pain. He had the ability to come down off of the cross at anytime and end his pain but He endured. No super hero strength can compare. Psalm 62: 11 (The Message) 11 … “Strength comes Straight from God.”

Sidekicks: Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl, Captain America and Bucky just to name a few. If they didn’t have sidekicks, superheroes wouldn’t be what they are today. Sidekicks not only support superheroes in their quest to save the world, but they often provide the necessary information to catch the evil-doers, offer moral support and encouragement, and come through in a pinch when the superhero is in trouble. Jesus ups the anti he doesn’t have one sidekick, he has two: God and the Holy Spirit. Even more impressive is the fact that the three of them are all equal and are three in one!! They all work together to save the world one soul at a time, they need not catch evil, evil has no power against them and there is unlimited encouragement and help whatever your situation may be. Matthew 28:19(New International Version) 9Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

You can be the judge. I, however, think it is pretty clear, Jesus rules the Justice League.
