Superhero

My favorite show is Smallville (for those of you who don't know). Why? My favorite superhero was Superman growing up. I mean, what's a better name than Super-Man (laughs)? But, seriously, I thought he was the greatest. I used to think that my dad was Superman when I was a little girl, but I found out that he couldn't fly.


I was thinking about this today and I realized that even though "super-heroes" aren't real, I have an assurance that my God is. He can do all the things Superman could never even fathom doing. Who needs something made-up when you can have the real thing? Every time I cry out for help, He is already there. Every time I get myself into trouble, He's already on it.


Rom 10:13 For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved."


We have no reason to doubt God. When He says something, it is a binding word. So, if He says that if we call upon Him we will be saved, then that's how it is, no questions asked. There is no "hidden agenda" to God. He isn't trying to trick people into believing in him. Every thing that He has ever spoken is the truth and nothing less.


It's sad that the world is so quick to accept "super-heroes" and yet when God came down to earth as a man to save the world, we crucified Him. To this day I hear people say, "I just don't believe that Jesus was who he said he was." Why? Because you weren't there to see him heal the blind and the lame, feed the masses with a boy's small lunch, raise the dead, walk on water, be crucified and rise on the third day and be seen ascending into heaven? All of these things are true, they are facts. They are recorded in history. There is nothing made up about them. I can understand if you feel like you have to see the facts written out for you. Well, I challenge you to a history lesson. Believe me, it will be well worth it. Let me ask you a question. Growing up, did you wish for a hero? Well, you aren't going to find him on any tv show. He's not made up for your imagination. In a world that has lost faith in God, He still saves. He isn't a bird, or a plane, or even Superman. He is the Creator. You don't believe that? Have you ever heard a bird sing? Sure, you have. Now tell me, did that bird just happen to be able to sing a beautiful song by chance or did someone give that song to that bird? In a world that is filled with so many intelligent people, why is it so easy to believe in chance? I don't think it is a coincidence that the sun rises and sets every day and that the stars and moon come out at night. It's a system that works together and if it was even the slightest bit off, it wouldn't work. THAT is not by chance. Think about that today.
