The Super-Man

Jesus Christ is the only one who has ever come down from heaven, offered eternal life, and promised to raise us from the dead on the last day. Our love for superhero stories, heroes who descend from above to save those who cannot save themselves, points to something deeply wired into us. We were made for this story, and the real version of it is found in Jesus. In John 6, Jesus makes bold and shocking claims about His identity, His origin, and His power over death. Many who heard Him were offended and walked away. But Peter's response cuts through all the confusion: there is nowhere else to go. No other teacher, religion, or philosophy has the power to pull anyone out of the grave. Jesus alone has the words of eternal life.
