Question of the Day: How is Jesus far better than any superhero?
Read about It
Read: John 6:16–21
Do you have a favorite superhero? If I were a superhero, I would want to have a superpower that no one else has. Maybe I would like to fly or control the weather or have superhuman strength. One of my favorite things about superheroes is how they usually go back to their ordinary life when they take off their suit.
Unfortunately, superheroes don’t exist outside of comic books and movies. But Jesus is better than any superhero. When we read about Jesus with His disciples, there were a lot of things He did that were very ordinary. It can be easy to forget that even though Jesus was fully man, He was also fully God! In the Bible, many of the stories begin with some ordinary event, and then Jesus showed up. Jesus always shows up and saves the day. We see Jesus perform miracles to help others, and sometimes He does them just to show the world how great God is. Read about the miracles of Jesus; it’s a good way to remind yourself just how powerful and mighty God is.
