Who is Your Superhero for Life? - Enjoy with Troy!

It is amazing how our modern culture embraces superheroes. From the big screen to action figures in kid's meals, they can be found...Wonder Woman, Batman, Spiderman, Superman, avengers and so many more. Though the years DC Comics and other comic publications have been instrumental in promoting the idea that the world needs a superhero to save the day. London, England even offers a superhero run for athletes should they wish to participate.

Through the decades and centuries there have always been superheroes. Whether it was Robinhood or patriots who have fought to give us freedom, they have always been there in our history defending us and giving us hope of a better world. Think of the brave men and women who work as firefighters, medical personal or officers of the peace. Perhaps they too command the sentiment of superheroes in our lives. When a person stands in harms way to save you from a fire or a doctor gives you one more chance for life, you look at those persons from a different view. They are admired and valued for their almost super human abilities.

However we all can help others if we choose to. One must have the desire to better humanity. We can bring happiness and warmth to the heart. We can make the burden of others less though our giving. We can help that old person down the stairs or drive someone to the grocery store. We can express words of kindness to the hurting heart or volunteer to make food for the less fortunate person, In a special way we can learn and apply the concept of being a super hero to others. We can spread the energy and joy and even love.

Why are superheroes so popular in today's culture? Why is Hollywood constantly coming out with new action movies complete with the latest hero plot? Could it be that with the advancement of media and the lack of a moral human figure to protect us, imaginary figures like Wonder woman and Superman were created over the decades. These comic superheroes have become our entertainment. They have also given us the illusion of some person or being saving the world from destruction. Yet has the world been saved? Why do we need so many superheroes to save us? Would not one superhero possess the power to save us?

Indeed there remains one who has proven himself a true superhero. You will not find him in DC Comics or in an action - packed movie. Restaurants will not be promoting him as the latest greatest action figure to accompany your children's happy meal. No costumed races or billboards will be promoting him or his cause. Yet he has more power to save you than all the superhero action figures combined. Who is he? What is his story?

Long before Superman, Batman or even Robin hood, there was a man, a simple and humble, who came on the scene. He was a mere carpenter's son, but he could heal the sick, and raise the dead. He could walk on water and turn it into wine. His name is Jesus and he can save you. In fact he is the only one who can save you from hell and destruction. Jesus is the original and first superhero. Some may profess to save you from a fire or the rooftop. Some may hurl you away from the bad guys and into safety. But Jesus can save you from eternal peril. Though dying on the cross he has paid your debt to freedom and safety. All you need to do is take his hand and follow him. It is your choice. We are here but a brief stay and then our life is over. Please don't get too used to this world. Let Jesus save you today. Ask him into your heart. Let him rescue you.
