For those of you who don't know me all that well - let's just say I'm a huge Superman fan. There was a time in my life that I will now admit even that Superman was my idol.
Now, I'm at a time in my life where I have one idol - this idol is no longer Superman - although this idol was a Super Man - no one else other than Jesus Christ.
Yes I know it says we are to have no idols. Yet we are to live in a certain way.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I may not be allowed to have idols - because I have to love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul and all my mind. I am to obey His words. His words call me to live as He did.
He has become my hope. I trust in no other than the Lord.
Superman was once my hope in life. I used to watch Superman just to escape from the world and relax.
My purpose in this - is simply because I may still have a fondness or longing to watch Superman and/or other related movies/TV shows. Yesterday, I spent a lot of my day watching Smallville.
The difference from before.
There were many references of Clark(Aka Superman) as being the Light, the Hope that would be needed to overcome the darkness of this world.
My entire time watching the show - I was thinking this is what the world needs. The world needs the light to overcome the darkness in their lives. They need Christ. I too was convicted in knowing and realizing that I need Christ more than ever.
This brings up an interesting question...
Who's the Superhero in your life?
