Super Heroes

Has it really been since September, and I was doing so good. Life just gets away from me and then I wake up and it has been months since I blogged.

My son has an amazing perspective. He makes me laugh so much. He looks at you shrugs his shoulders and says something so simple, logical, and yet hilarious. An example of this is his stance on the Savior. You see if Jesus is the Savior he is a hero right? Well then he must wear a cape. As he, my son, describes Jesus he stands on the couch, outstretches his arms, and says "then he flies in to save us all." Through my tears of laughter I notice that with his arms held out in his superman pose he looks kind of like Jesus did on the cross. With arms wide open, and right then I got it. You see Jesus is our super hero. Plain and simple he stretched out his arms and saved us.

In our house there is some debate over whether he did all this saving while wearing a cape, but really the important message is Jesus Saves. As you rush to and fro this Christmas purchasing, returning, and getting swept away in the Season don't forget the reason. When you look at the tree don't forget that it symbolizes a cross. When you put the star on top remember that the wise men too followed a star. When you wrap presents remember the greatest gift of all, and above all else teach everyone who will listen.

Your message does not fall on deaf ears. They may argue with you and while it is difficult to explain why Jesus is a better savior than Buzz Lightyear to a 3 year old who believes that Buzz is pretty special, if you teach every day, if you live every moment, and if you show them how to believe there is no doubt who the real savior is. There is no doubt..... that Jesus Saves.

In the words of Jeremy Camp: We'll sing it out to let all the world know That Jesus saves Raise a shout to let all the world know That Jesus saves
