~ My Hero ~

Having 3 boys in the house makes for lots of stories, toys and movies about super heroes - they are the ones that are save the day and often save the world. As I have heard them talk about the heroes I have always come back to the thought "If only the world would see who the ultimate Hero is".....Jesus

Not often is the name of Jesus and Hero used in the same sentence. But, He fits every possible description that could describe a hero ~

* Brave ~ He endured the cross, alone
* Conqueror ~ He conquered the ultimate defeat, death
* Champion ~ He is victorious in the final battle, for eternity
* Humanitarian ~ He gave His all for humanity, willingly
* Gentle ~ His hands held babies, and He holds us, gently
* Distinct Clothing ~ Crown of Thorns, nail scarred hands, and a robe of pure white
* Super Powers ~ He rose again, He heals, He hears us all as we pray, He provides, He saves
* X-Ray Vision ~ He peers right through our sinful garment of flesh, and sees our cleansed heart of gratitude

As we go through our often chaotic and busy lives, we need a super hero to save us in our times of frustration, trials, and temptations. As adults we know there will not be a superman to scoop us up as a co-worker is about to give us a piece of their mind, or a wonder woman to fold our 8 baskets of laundry at lightening speed, or a robin hood to hand us a bag of money to help pay our house payment. But we can know there is an authentic hero that can not only save our day, but, our heart and soul, Jesus…………
